Where do I find which showings have this? I checked the website for the AMC near me and I didn’t see it for any showings for any of their current movies. Are they on certain days or for certain showtimes? Maybe I’ll have to stop in sometime and ask.
The theater where I saw DTA has showings with subtitles listed on their website apart from those without. None listed for Downton (there were showings with them over the weekend) but here they are with DemonSlayer.
At least for my theater you can see it when you go to buy tickets. Look at toy story - 30th anniversary on Wed Sept 17th you will see open caption - on screen subtitles. That is what we usually try to go see if we are going to go.
Thanks, but I believe DemonSlayer is in Japanese, so all showings are either dubbed in English or have subtitles.

My local theater also has screenings dubbed in Spanish
Go to the Fandango website or app and put in your zip code. A list of local theaters with movies and times will pop up. Our local AMC theater has reserved seating, closed captioning, and accessibility devices available for Downtown Abbey and it is listed next to the movie showtime.

I saw Downton Abbey yesterday. I loved it and there were just enough nods to the past to make it fun for the devoted fans (reference to the weekend, for one). Everything tied up with a bow made it a wonderful ending for me.

If I DIDN’T watch the TV series, do you think I would enjoy the movie?
There is much to enjoy in terms of costumes and scenery, so I’m sure you would enjoy the movie. However, I can’t imagine someone who doesn’t know the characters enjoying it as much as someone who has seen all 6 seasons of the series and the 2 previous movies. It is such a wonderful body of work that I would recommend it all to anyone who enjoys period dramas. Missing the opportunity to experience Maggie Smith (and her relationship with Penelope Wilton as Cousin Isolbel) would be a true loss, IMO.

My friend took her son and his BF, both have Down Syndrome, as it is her son’s favorite movie. He has dozens of Jesse and Woody dolls and figurines. She said even though they’ve seen it 9,863 times, it was still special on the big screen.

I agree. Perhaps you can look at one of the many recaps/summaries per season and pick a bunch of episodes to watch.
We saw the Downton Abbey movie yesterday. Just what us fans wanted.
Can’t wait to re-watch at home with captions. In the scene where Mary tells Edith about something she did, Edith gives a retort that had the audience howling—I didn’t hear what she said, but once I read in in the IMBD trivia, I had a good laugh myself! Wondering what else I missed!
This is the kind of inside joke that longtime DA fans would get, that a newbie would wonder why everyone else is laughing.
EDIT: I realize this post is a bit cryptic, but I do NOT want to be accused of giving spoilers!!

I got tickets for a movie theater showing of the finale of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and took my friend who had never seen the show. She enjoyed it for the quick wit, the costumes and the free popcorn. She had zero idea of any previous interaction between the characters.
I think you could enjoy a Downton movie for the costumes, the scenery, the snooty English accents (especially if you know Michelle Dockery sounds nothing like that in real life). It’s a day/night at the movies.

We just saw The Long Walk. It was devastating for me. I cried a few times. I think it is the combination of having sons and the every day insanity we all have been contending with. It’s a horrifying glimpse into a future that seems possible.
ETA - It is a well done movie. But it is relentless in its bleakness, very similar to The Road.

The Long Walk was one of my favorite Stephen King stories (and I’ve read most), it sticks with you. Really looking forward to the movie.

I also enjoyed the Downton Abbey movie. The theme of the movie was change. Generational change, change in societal norms. My only negative was that the movie would have been fine without Paul Giamatti’s character and his storyline.

We found it odd that Lucy, Tom Branson’s wife, was not included in the movie. Seeing Sybie as a teenager was jarring, until we both did the math in our heads.

I still miss Rosamund, Lord Grantham’s sister, who hasn’t appeared in any of the three movies.
You’re probably already aware that Samantha Bond stars in PBS’s Marlow Murder Club.

They mentioned her being at home with the other child. I’m guessing much like Mary’s divorce it was because the actor couldn’t / wouldn’t be in the movie.
