Breh, read this article then STFU. They used to get as much as 90% on some weekends.

I think you read that wrong breh. It says the studios used to get as much as 90%
"And it used to be true across the board that the
opening weekend was when the biggest percentage of profits went to the studios. In the past, studios "strong-armed exhibitors into these front-loaded deals,
wherein the overwhelming majority of the opening weekend take goes to the studio," says David Mumpower with Box Office Prophets. "
As much as 90% of that revenue is theirs." The theaters only make money by selling "overpriced snacks" to audiences during that first week — but in the following weeks, the theater's cut goes up.
Eventually, by the fourth week, the studio's cut has fallen to around 52 percent in most cases."
edit* the rest of your original point holds true though(roughly)
