I don't understand your example. Force Awakens grossed over a billion. In a few months it'll get a DVD run and make more money and then it'll end up on Netflix (maybe) and make more money there. ... So why would the studios ever bypass the cinema money for streaming when they can have both?

because you are analyzing the situation at this moment and my prediction is 5-10 years in the future when --
-- there will be 100-200 m Netflix subscribers who can access all the content anywhere in the world
-- there won't be any physical media drive in existence in which you can slot your DVD.
-- economies of scale for Netflix with dirt cheap internet will force people to consume content cheaply and easily.
-- there will be so much advancement in Televisions and Home theater systems that it would make cinema screen inferior.
Won't these reasons be good enough?
For ex: (10 million movie-goers * $10 tkt price =$100 m rev)
(100 million Netflix users * $1(considering that Force Awakens title in Netflix library is being accessed by 1/10th of total library and N'flix is paying Star Wars accordingly) =$100 m)
