(no subject)
After last weeks post about the amount of subtitled showings at my local cinema that week (22 - 28 June 2010), I decided to have a look at the figures for this week (29 June - 5 July 2010) - [Note: The weeks given start on a Tuesday, as that's when I happened to check the listings].
I have to say, they're just as fun as last weeks figures. 20 separate films are being shown (last week: 21). The total amount of showings is 362 (last week: 353) - 8 of those are marked as having audio description available (last week: 14) and 1 will have subtitles (last week: 1).
What is interesting is this - all the showings marked as having audio description and/or subtitles over the two week period that I have looked at are for the same film (Sex and the City 2, in case you were wondering).
I'm going to keep collecting weekly figures for a few more weeks to see what happens, although I probably won't update with the new figures for a few weeks (unless you all really want me to). I'm also going to collect the figures for each day in July, so I can see what the figures are like on a day to day basis.
Not that there's any real point to this, you understand. I don't expect things to change as a result of this. But it is something I will be able to show people when they ask me why I can't just go to the cinema to see films whenever I want - although it's kind of sad that I need something like that in the first place.
