The reason to double them is specifically the stark contrast between the two. As the gen-zs would say, "for the meme."

I think it's as simple as "hey, there's a thing going around the Internet, lets do the thing"

I'm not doing a "double feature", but I am seeing both opening weekend, which is something I haven't done in a long time.

My local film society got a 35mm print of Oppenheimer, which I have tickets to see opening night. Barbie on the other hand I'm happy seeing on a digital screen closer to home.

I don't think it's any cheaper. In the US (and I assume everywhere?) you need to buy separate tickets. Maybe you end up buying less snacks?

In our multiplex (US) I could go from theater to theater since the seats aren't assigned but I've never done that, even though I complain about high ticket prices. It's not "legal", of course, but I doubt the bored teenagers would go around hunting down cheaters.
