In DC, @RegalMovies Gallery Place 14 is currently not listing any open caption times for this week. OC options not being part of a movie theater's routine scheduling is a huge reason we need a law passed by @councilofdc -- to ensure that accessibility on a consistent basis. #deaf

UPDATE: Thankfully, Regal Gallery Place 14 is now posting OC times. Not sure if they would have done this if they didn't get an outside prompt. Individuals should not have to prompt institutions to have accessibility ready for them.

Shout-out to @charlesallen and his team @CMCharlesAllen for getting the open captioned movie bill re-introduced in DC! And thanks to all the deaf and hard of hearing individuals and organizations and allies for helping to bring this closer to reality.

The theatrical release of best picture winner “CODA” was applauded for its use of on-screen captions. Deaf viewers want more movie distributors and theaters to follow suit. on.wsj.com/3iGYd1x

Excited to share that DC Council has re-introduced the DC open captioned movie bill, with seven co-introducers! It's time to make open captioned movies a staple of living in (or near) Washington, DC! #deaf charlesallenward6.com/counci…

Why do we need laws to ensure open caption movies? @AMCTheatres in the DC area has reduced deaf access -- from 100 OC times (out of thousands of non-OC times) last week to only 21 this week. All but one AMC theater have OC for just one title (and it's not even Spider-Man).

While it is nice that @AMCTheatres is providing Open Caption times, their voluntary approach shows the need for a law.
Not a single AMC theater in the DC area is showing deaf-featuring #Eternals with OC this coming week of 11/19-11/25, despite numerous non-OC times. @AMCHelps

Checking the DC area's @AMCTheatres locations' times this Halloween weekend, there is only one #HalloweenKills Open Caption screening anywhere, and it's on a Wednesday afternoon (Nov 3rd). There needs to be a fairer mix of OC options for all locations and titles.

Very glad that @AMCTheatres is showing more movies with Open Captions for deaf moviegoers and others who like or benefit from captions! We're starting to compile our Wednesday email of OC listings for theaters in the Washington, DC area.

I am proud to announce that @AMCTheatres permanently will offer some Open Caption showtimes each week. Well marked on our web site and mobile app. A real advance for those with hearing difficulties or where English is a second language. And right in time for Eternals from @Disney

Great news!
"'CODA,' a coming-of-age story about the only hearing member of a deaf family, will change that when it is screened with open captions that need no special equipment in all U.S. and U.K. movie theaters and showtimes, starting Friday." reuters.com/lifestyle/coda-b…

We're excited to begin offering a rotating selection of open-captioned screenings—with dialogue and descriptive audio on screen—at our Northern Virginia theaters. First up is A QUIET PLACE PART II, with CRUELLA and IN THE HEIGHTS likely to follow.
