I'm pretty sure theaters are required to have CC for all screenings if requested to comply with the ADA. Maybe not all theaters, but if they have this service then they have it all the time, not just for the listed time.

I'm glad they have one that's explicitly CC, but if you request it, they are required to give it to you. Only caveat being that they only need to carry at most 16 CC devices, so if everyone requests CC and doesn't need it, then you are taking away that device from someone who potentially does.

This is more likely why they have the specifically CC'd screening, so that they don't have to run into issues of running out of CC devices while still offering CC to those that need it.

Yeah, see how the post is titled open captions? All theaters have to have closed captions with devices but rarely do any have open on-screen captions

The devices are required. The open captions (oc not cc) are not required but are often the preferred option by customers who want or need oc.
