Some local DC cinemas are having family-friendly matinees on weekdays. Ticket prices are greatly reduced, kids under a certain age are free, space is made available for strollers, etc., and the house lights are only dimmed 2/3 rather than full so parents can monitor/assist their kids more easily. I've heard one theater has an intermission mid-way through the movie to help parents perform kiddie maintenance (diaper changes, bottle feedings, etc.) without having to miss scenes.
