That is not necessarily true, it will depend on the number of peers and the chunk replication rate. You can tweak the ratios so that the first part is available more often.
In fact,you are also forgetting about the usage of each peer application. With traditional torrents you download the movie, close the app and watch the movie. Total seeding time is the same as the downloading time.
With popcorn time you are seeding WHILE watching the movie, the total seeding time is much, much longer than in the first case.
