Naturally, in order to be able to do that, Mylingo had to partner with major studios and movie theaters, such as Disney, Paramount, Sony, Regal Entertainment Group and Cinemark Theaters. As a result, the app will work with many of the films scheduled to debut this holiday season, including Moana, Office Christmas Party, Passengers and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

In a press release, Mylingo Co-founder and CEO Olenka Polak said hispanic audiences spent nearly $2.5 billion at the box office in 2015, so she knows how important this tool will be for many people in the US. I, for one, know someone like my mom is one of them, since she doesn't speak English fluently but often takes my younger sister to the theater. At least now she'll have a better idea of what the characters on the screen are talking about.
