“Movie-house owners — as well as disability advocates — are anxiously awaiting the release of an Obama administration proposal that would require theaters to install expensive technology so deaf and blind patrons can enjoy their films. Theater owners — particularly those with small, independent houses — say they cannot afford the technology shift which starts with converting to digital cinema. The cost of that is about $70,000 per screen, though most theaters have already gone digital. Theaters then would have to purchase the headsets that narrate films for the blind and glasses that provide the closed-captioning for the deaf, at an additional cost.”
