Rules
Apparently a large fraction of people using streaming services watch movies and shows with subtitles enabled all the time - even when watching content in their own native language.
- Will cinemas follow this trend, and start showing English subtitles for English-language films, before 2030?
- This market resolves YES if a major cinema chain in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, or Canada starts showing mainstream, popular, English-language films with English subtitles for at least some sessions.
- It must be routine - not a one-off for a particular film or a single day when all films have subtitles, or anything like that.
- It must be across most of the cinemas in that chain within the country that subtitles are available.
- The subtitles must be displayed on the screen itself with the film.
