An arizona law suit may be forcing Harkins Theatres to equip their cinemas with the necessary equipment for deaf and blind people. They agreed to install descriptive video systems in almost all of their theatres by January 2013. Only two of their theatres will be exempt from this.
Apparently, by not already having this equipment installed they were commiting illegal discrimination. The company is not admitting that they are guilty, but rather than continue to go through a long legal process they would much rather just add the equipment.
As a result, Harkins has made an agreement to do promotional events at theaters when the equipment is installed and will provide up to 1,000 free admissions to individuals who are disabled.
