Cup holder devices works pretty well. You might want to also look for "Open Caption" screenings. These are screenings of a movie that will have captions on the screen that everyone sees.

I was looking for an open captioning option originally, but none of the theaters in my area offered it that I could find. Lots have the cup holder devices though, but if it’s super laggy or mis-translates a bunch i would probably just skip it. Another poster said that they seem to work pretty well though so we might give it a shot

Try it for a movie you don't really care about.

Theaters are struggling right now, it couldn't hurt to ask them to offer open captioning. Maybe check for groups in your area that use captioning and see if they want to book a screening together.
