ACCESSIBLE MOVIES

Tuxedo Cinemas strives to create the best moviegoing experience possible for all guests. All locations offer open captions, or "OC," showings of movies every Thursday afternoon. To select this format, please look for the red "OC" icon next to the showtime. Your movie with open captions may also list "Subtitled" in its name.

Tuxedo Cinemas also offers one complimentary ticket per caregiver so the caregiver can sit with the individual they are assisting without having to purchase a ticket. This companion pass is given on a one-to-one basis. Caregivers must be prepared to show a valid ID from a licensed facility.

Additionally, closed caption glasses, closed caption receivers, and HI-VI headsets (hearing impaired and visually impaired) are available at Tuxedo theaters so that everyone can fully enjoy their movie event. Please note that some locations have different models of accessibility devices.

These assistive devices are available upon request for our showtimes for films encoded with captions or descriptions. Please view the short video below, courtesy of QSC, for a brief introduction to these assistive devices and how to use them!

Please ask for a manager to set up the devices you need ahead of the movie! You can also contact us in advance to inquire about which devices your Tuxedo location has. Thank you!

Closed captioning glasses receive captions via infrared energy. Text is projected into the user's view and the user can adjust the position of the text. The engineered optics make the captions appear as a distant "virtual image" which minimizes eye strain due to refocusing between text and the movie image.

Closed caption receivers display captions via infrared energy. The optics present a distant virtual image so the caption and movie screen can be viewed without refocusing the eye. We will help you set up the seat arm mounted closed caption receiver which provides our guests with a private display attached by an angled flex-arm with a base and built-in cupholder.

The HI/VI headsets have two channels for our guests who are hearing impaired (HI) — providing amplified audio including special effects — and for guests who are visually impaired (VI), providing a description of the movie action.
