You're missing the top quality sound system and complete blackout of other sources of light, which are both hard to achieve at home. (These days, I'd argue a good 45-60inch 4k TV is probably up there in terms of image quality though, which wasn't the case a decade ago.)

Most digital cinema I've been to is actually 2K, including so-called IMAX screens. The black levels aren't all that black either, and the luminosity is low. The only upside is color accuracy and less compression.

Calibrated TVs and home projectors have had better potential quality than movie theaters for a long time.
