You are stealing the residuals of the actors, producers, stuntmen, grips, and all the other folks that help make content.
Not everyone is a A-List celeb or director.

This logic is still flawed. If I stole a ride on a train, am I stealing from the people who made the train?
This doesn't make any sense and is an incorrect analogy. Trains don't pay residuals to the people that made the train every time someone rides it. Imagine a different world where the people who made trains make most of their money from train rider residuals. In that case, I would say yes, they are stealing.
A ride requires a vehicle, a driver, fuel, etc. You can’t freely copy a vehicle, a person’s time, or the fuel required to power the vehicle.
A theater requires electricity, seating, space for seating, an audio and video system, etc. These are also things that you can’t freely copy.
