The concession stand is one area that movie theaters modify for individuals in wheelchairs. Generally concession stands are at the level of a bar height. A section of the concession stand will be lowered to table height in a way to accommodate for various individuals.

Another way that a movie theater tries to accommodate these customers is in the actual theater. There are various rows that will have empty slots for the individuals to sit in their wheelchair or scooter. The individuals can sit in the movie theater chair, but most prefer to stay in their own chair.
The most obvious accommodation is the handicapped parking spaces for the individuals. They are in the front of the theater and have ample space around them. This gives them room for ramps, lifts, or to just get in their wheelchair.
