Open Caption
OC, or Open Captioning, at a cinema means dialogue and important sound effects are displayed as text directly on the movie screen for everyone to see, making films accessible for deaf/hard-of-hearing audiences, those learning the language, or anyone needing text, unlike closed captions that require a device and can be turned off. Cinemas often designate specific shows (like Wednesday matinees) as OC, offering an inclusive way for all patrons to enjoy movies together.
