Theater Captioning

Cinemark will put closed-captioning equipment in all of its 64 California theaters in the next year. The agreement is part of its settlement of a lawsuit filed in Alameda County, California against the nation's third-largest movie chain by Disability Rights Advocates out of Berkeley, California. Cinemark says about half of those 64 theaters already have wireless captioning devices that include a visor to shield the caption from other patrons. The two other big theater chains, Regal and AMC, offer some captioning and is facing lawsuits in other states.
