I am surprised to realize that there are a lot of factors that influence the poll. Thinking about it, the factors I am speaking of include: research skills, business infrastructure, personal preference, disposable income, distance in location, program availability/accessibility, and timing. I have noticed that when new movies enter the scene, there is a waiting period before those with CC becomes available. This frustrates me as more often than not, my hearing friends go out to see the new movies while I am at odds about seeing one without CC. And when it does come out with CC, they have already seen it. And there have been times when I visited the cinema and asked if CC was available, it usually wasn't. Thus I did not go ahead and buy the ticket no matter how bad I wanted to watch the movie. I still remember that experience very clearly as if it happened an hour ago. This guy was so confused about what I was asking about and kept referring back to me about what Closed Captioning is. I explained it to him and then he was like, "Ohhhhhhh ohh now I know what you're talking about. You're talking about the open caption, right?" I was completely beside myself and let out a big sigh. So I told him yes, so is it available? He checked the computer and said no, I'm sorry.
"Thank you sir, have a good day"
I walked away.
It depends on how much one is willing to overcome the inconveniences in order to go to a theater with CC. The CC is available without a doubt, but it is not as easily accessible as those without. From the consumer perspective, it looks selfish and requires further development. From the business perspective, it saves money to provide CC in certain locations and saving money means profits.
I don't like the setup as it is now, but it is still there for deaf/hh individuals to have enjoyable viewing experiences in cinemas.
