My AMC does this–not for many, admittedly, but there are 1-2 movies a day you can see with captioning. I’ve seen a few like that because the times were convenient and I got used to the captions quickly.
They also have versions that turn the volume down for people (mostly kids) who can’t handle the sensory overload of normal volume. The lights are turned up part way for those.
The future of streaming is ad-supported free TV?

Well that would certainly be ironic if we ended up with standard linear TV again.
But I don’t think it will dominate. The power to watch what you want when you want is too valuable.
God I hope not. Fuck having even a single ad involved anywhere in the process.
The Verge is really pushing this. Different author this time.
That guy is fucking trolling
There is a known thing about decision anxiety, but I don’t want to live in a world where my choices are Law and Order or NCIS.
What I’ve found is that when I don’t have anything in mind to watch, I need to sit down at the PC and google each service to see what’s worth watching. That doesn’t always work, but it can help.
That’s actually why I prefer TV series to movies. I already know i like the tv series, so it means everytime I sit down I have something to watch.
Warner Bros Discovery loses $1.1bn in 1Q23 and burns nearly $1bn in cash. Streaming is however profitable now, albeit barely. These numbers don’t look great to me though:
Better than their basic cable business though
