Kamen Rider Splendid Double-Feature (仮面ライダー 超豪華2本立て, Kamen Raidā Chōgōkai ni-hondate) is the name given to the double-bill exhibition of both Kamen Rider Saber: The Phoenix Swordsman and the Book of Ruin and Kamen Rider Zero-One: REAL×TIME. The films premiered simultaneously on December 18, 2020.
History[]
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, filming for the second half of Zero-One was delayed for five weeks, and the original July premiere of REAL×TIME was postponed to a later date as well as detaching its double-billing with Mashin Sentai Kiramager The Movie: Bee-Bop Dream
.
In lieu of the traditional Movie War that typically premiered in December, REAL×TIME was announced to premiere at that time frame, alongside a double-billing with The Phoenix Swordsman and the Book of Ruin. Furthermore, both films were marketed together extensively, with trailers showing during advertisement breaks and each respective shows' opening themes featuring film footage instead in the weeks leading up to the premiere.
Ticket pre-sales began on November 8, 2020, with online purchases including digital downloads of episodes of both Zero-One's anime and Saber's anime. Both films premiered side-to-side in Japanese theaters on December 18, 2020.
Good Theater Manners From Kamen Rider Zero-One and Kamen Rider Saber[]
An anime short called 'Good Theater Manners From Kamen Rider Zero-One and Kamen Rider Saber (仮面ライダーセイバー』＆『仮面ライダーゼロワン』ショートアニメ劇場マナー, Kamen Raidā Seibā tai Kamen Raidā Zerowan Shōtoanime Gekijō Manā) in the style of Zero-One and Saber's anime shorts is aired on both theaters and streaming on Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club on the same day of the movie.
This short has Touma and Aruto reminding the audience to follow the theater rules while punishing the Shocker Combatmen who are considered rule breakers in this short. [1][2]

Notes[]
- This double-billing was created in lieu of a Movie War crossover film due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Both protagonists of each series would later properly crossover together in Kamen Rider Saber ＋ Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki
, while Saber himself would appear in his first Movie War film in Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations.
