That assumes everyone streaming it would have gone to a theatre to see it, and I don’t think that’s true.

It's a safe enough assumption when contrasted against the streaming price being $30 vs ~$15 per box office ticket.
That high streaming price was caused people to stream it before groups and would be more likely for someone to watch it multiple times than going to the theater multiple times.

Anecdote: My best friend and his wife stayed with us that Friday night as they were passing through so he, his wife, my wife and myself all watched it together from the comfort of my living room. It was cheaper and more convenient for all of us to watch it that way than go to the theater.
