      Why sit next to someone not watching the movie while they watch the movie and actively interrupt them watching the movie?

          To share the emotional experiences, and then talk about the story afterwards.

          Or you can talk during the film and have this conversation later:
          “What was that dude so angry about?”
          “I don’t know. We were talking about the previous scene during that scene.”
          “That movie sucked. It was confusing and I just couldn’t get into it.”

        In this case, how? It’s not exactly social if both just sit silently looking at a screen

          Sure it is, you’re sharing an experience. It’s exactly the same as going to a theater but the screen is smaller and snacks are cheaper.
