Reply to comment by Blide in In Washington, DC (the city itself) seven theaters offer open captions (on-screen subtitles). by tunicsandleggimgs15

That's part of the problem. Theaters think people won't go to open caption screenings so they push them into the worst time slots. It is a chicken and egg problem in that we can't get better timed until attendance improves, and attendance won't improve without better times. That's why I did this post to increase awareness of availability of open captions.

The theaters are right

NYC recently made it so at least 25% of movies had to be open caption. Wouldn't be surprised if DC followed suit, especially with Gallaudet being here.
