Thanks to open-captioning, translated dialogue and sound effects,

Abigail Lambert/Moviegoer SOT: (through sign-language interpreter) "We
get to see a movie without interruptions, it's really nice. It's like
renting but you get to see it on a bigger screen."
About 28 million Americans are deaf or hearing-impaired. Until
recently, they played a guessing game at the movies, trying to read lips
or asking hearing friends to translate. Others skipped theatres
altogether or waited for the video.
But, open-captioning is now catching on, and opening up a new world for
moviegoers. In the last year, the number of cities showing
open-captioned films jumped from 60 to 200.
The Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center got involved after a few
friends, hearing and deaf, decided they wanted to go to the movies
together.
Michael Kaufer/Organizer SOT (through interpreter):
"It feels great. It is a big accomplishment to see this grow. Our
attendance is up and down depending on the type of film."
(LOCTAOR: Hollywood, CA)
For the first time, first run movies are now becoming more available.
Los angeles based Tripod Captioned Films, works to convince movie
studios and theatres to not overlook the deaf community.
Nancy Linke-Ellis/Tripod Captioned Films SOT:
"They see that there is a potential with all these multiplexes of
bringing in an extra two of three million people."
In open-captioning, the dialogue is laser printed onto the film, which
is then copied and distributed. But even with the technology, most
movies don't have it.
Nancy Linke-Ellis/TCF SOT:
"This year, right now, of all the Academy Award best pictures, only
Saving Private Ryan is open-captioned. Next year I hope all five will
be."
