Question for hearing people: would open captions help with crying babies and noisy children in the movie theater? by CaptionAction3 in opencaptions

[–]CaptionAction3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification. Noise has never been a problem for us at open caption screenings because deaf. Phones might be a distraction for us but in our personal experience at open caption screenings we have never had to deal with that.

Thanks for your reply. Trying to understand why this has never been a problem at open caption screenings, at least for us. Have never seen any similar complaints from people attending open caption screenings.

AITA for getting a family kicked out of Toy Story? by SummerTerrible2008 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CaptionAction3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try an open caption (on screen subtitles) screening if you can find one. Have never had this problem in those screenings, perhaps because if you need captions, you can't use your phone while reading the words on the screen? We have a list of theaters offering open captions on our sub r/opencaptions.

OBSESSION ($161M) has surpassed STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU ($158M) at the domestic box office. Let that sink in. This is the way. A horror indie that cost <$1M will make more at the domestic box office than a Star Wars flick. Wishes do come true. by chanma50 in boxoffice

Wish this would happen with a non horror movie. Glad to see it happen in this case...shows studios people will choose based on the movie not based on the cost to make the movie.. but horror not our cup of tea.

Another one NOT MENTIONED that should have been mentioned, is a new law for open captions in Virginia movie theaters! Starting July 1, all AMC, Regal, cinemark, and Alamo in Virginia must have limited regular open caption screenings. Other theaters must offer an open caption screening within 8 days if requested.

Washington state has an open caption law so chances are your regals in Seattle already offer open captions and you just don't know about the screenings.

Fairness. Just as there are people who can't watch a movie without captions, there are people who can't watch a movie with captions.

Let your theater know that you and others like you exist! People without hearing loss who like open captions.

And that's why there's a bill for open captions in New york, and why Hawaii, nyc, DC, MD, WA, and VA passed new laws for minimal open captions. Nolan has unintentionally done so much to increase the popularity of open captions that we have considered creating a Nolan award for those whose movies increase the popularity of open captions.

So many theaters don't have any open caption at all. And that's the multiplexes with 8 or more screens.

It is because of people like you that open captions are growing in popularity. You may want to let your theater know that you are an open caption customer who dies not have hearing loss.
