Available at most theatres in the United States, the app allows
moviegoers to select a showtime at a theatre and download the Spanish
audio track before leaving home. The app works by using your
smartphone's microphone to sync to the movie playing on the big screen.
"We are very excited to be working with Disney to bring more
accessibility to Spanish-speaking audiences. The response that we've
seen from audiences in our testing is that US Spanish-speakers want to
experience the movies in their language. We want to make that dream a
reality," said Dan Mangru, CEO of TheaterEars.
"We are delighted to enable Spanish-speaking viewers to share the
emotion, laughter and excitement of "Coco" alongside English speaking
family and friends," says Paul Holliman, Vice President of Sales at Walt
Disney Studios.
TheaterEars is available on both the App Store (iOS) and Google Play
(Android (News - Alert)) and at TheaterEars.com/Download.
The app supports moviegoers throughout the United States and Puerto
Rico. Initially, the app will support moviesin the United States in
Spanish, with future plans to expand internationally and add more
languages.
