Getting to know someone is a process -- talking before and after the movie gets that going. The shared experience of watching the movie gives you something to talk about and reflect on. One need not know everything about a person before beginning to enjoy spending time with them.
If someone is so interesting in pre-movie conversation that you mutually decide that the conversation is better than whatever the movie has to offer, the movie will be there tomorrow.
Also, movie theaters are dark rooms in a fairly safe public space, which is relatively unique. It is a safe place to, say, hold someone's hand for the first time without immediate societal visibility.
If movies don't seem like a great date venue, there are other people out there who feel the same way.
