Open Captions in Movie Theaters

Movie theaters in New York City must provide open captions in some of their movie showings, pursuant to NYC Administrative Code section 20-699.7. This requirement starts May 15, 2022.

Open captioning is a service for moviegoers who are deaf and hard of hearing. In addition to moviegoers who are deaf and hard of hearing, captions benefit almost everyone, especially people watching movies in their non-native language, and children and adults learning to read.
