A patron complained that Carmike theaters in Des Moines violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by having inaccessible entrances, rest rooms, ticket windows and parking lots plus inadequate wheelchair seating. Carmike also agreed to conduct a nationwide review of all its theaters and developed a 20-page survey that will be completed by the manager of every theater it operates. The results will guide the company's barrier-removal program. ADA law requires public accommodations, such as movie theaters, to remove barriers to access when they can readily do so. We expect all of the larger firms to quickly follow suit with this great precedent.
