Eli5- How did Dune 1 and other movies that were released through theater AND a streaming service make up their money?

Question

So for those people who decided not to go to the theater and just watched it at home-that was one less ticket bought, so one less ticket for profit for the movie, right? How did those movies make up that loss? Or did they just take the hit?

Answer 1

The cinema ticket was cheaper than renting at home. Plus the cinema experience can’t be reproduced in my living room. No brainer.
