In Switzerland every movie has German and French sub-titles. Sadly you can't turn them off in the theater but it's helpful id you can't understand what the actors are mumbling.

Taking up a lot of screen space too?

Reminds me my dad said when he first moved abroad before he learned the local language, everyone would read the subtitles and laugh at the joke and then he couldn't hear what they had just laughed at.
