That's not really true.
Little known fact: If the film has gone through a Digital Intermediate
process (as do most most major studio films), then the full ap
negative is scanned and reduced to 2048x1556 resolution. The actual
part of the resultant scan that is eventually projected on a 1.85:1
movie ("Academy Safe") is a small part of that frame, and actually has
a slightly lower resolution than HD's 1920x1080 pixels. Most of the
resolution of film is thrown away. If you are just comparing pixels,
HD has film beat for a 1.85 movie.
The reason film wins over HD is because of the greater color depth and
dynamic range, a fact not well illustrated by your comparrison to 2MP
cameras.
