ELI5: Why can airlines have the movie rights to recently released movies so quickly, but it takes a lot longer for Netflix and other streaming services to add new movies to their catalogs?

Sometimes they even have movies that are still in the theaters of the country they are flying to/from. The question is, how can they get it so fast and why does it seem easier for them to get the rights to stream those new movies if Netflix seems to have a larger public?

I might be mistaken in some aspects (the fact that it looks easier  and the public size), but I did see movies in the plane that were in theaters in my country.

Streaming services are the last to acquire rights to the video because they represent the customer segment with the lowest profit margins.

Why should a customer pay more to see the movie in a cinema/airplane when they can watch it at home anytime they want? The airlines are willing to pay a higher price per customer to capture passengers, and movie theatres are willing to pay even more, which is why they get the rights in that order.
