Indeed. It is the same as saying that one should never go out for a walk, because you can easily walk some rounds around the table in the comfort of your own house.

It's the 'out' part that is important!

Except a theater isn't out, you are just trading one dark room for another.
The theater itself is not the experience. The 'out' thing is, though.
You can still have the "out", like Dinner and coffee at a restaurant. But the specific watching a movie part is "in" whether it is at a theater or your living room.

You committed the fallacy of posting a fallacy without support.

In a theater, you sit in the dark, if you are a good citizen, you don't talk. 90% of any social piece to going to a movies happens at dinner before or after, which you can still do and then go home to watch a movie.
