Is it fair to choose the captioned movie screening for our group?

Before anyone bought tickets, I put the 7:10 open-caption screening in our four-person chat. My friend replied, 'Please pick the normal one. I spend the whole film reading instead of looking at faces.'

We're choosing an outing at an AMC cinema in the US. I often miss quiet dialogue, and at home I choose captions. Last time we went together, I whispered 'What did she say?' twice, then stopped because I didn't want to disturb anyone. I understood the ending after reading a summary on the way home.

There's also a 7:40 screening without on-screen captions. Either time works for us. My friend offered to help me ask about a separate caption device, which was considerate, but I'd prefer to watch the screen without another display to position. The other two said they'd go with either choice.

We take turns choosing films, and this is my turn. Does that reasonably include the screening format, or should we choose separate showings and meet for food afterward? I'd miss actually watching it with them.

The screening times are illustrative, not live listings.
