I don't think Netflix and movie theatres are even remotely comparable. To see a movie open at theatres you need to travel to the theatre, queue for limited seating, buy a ticket, etc. most people wouldn't go more than once in a while. Netflix is a monthly fee and available 24/7 in your home. You can turn it on and half watch a movie while you're doing other things around the house. I think their numbers are perfectly accurate and am not at all surprised they outperform the box office.
