These numbers make me sad.
At my local cinema, 21 films are scheduled to be shown between Tuesday 22nd and Monday 28th June 2010. When added together, there will be 353 separate showings during this time.
Out of all those showings, only 1 showing will have subtitles.
So please, when I say I can't watch a film in the cinema because I need subtitles, don't tell me that I might be able to because they might show it with subtitles. Chances are that I won't be able to, and I would rather not get excited about things that are extremely unlikely to happen.
(In case you're wondering, only 14 showings were marked as having audio description - and all of those will be showings of the same film.)
