Two は in a sentence


From my Japanese book:

> この映画館で **は** 、水曜日 **は** １０００円で映画を見ることができます。

I wonder about these two は.

I think the first one (この映画館では) is a topic marker は and 水曜日は１０００円で[…] is a
contrastive は (implying on the other days you cannot enter with 1000 yen)

Is this right?




You are correct in your analysis. The first は establishes the topic as この映画館で
("at this movie theater"). What came prior in the conversation was not talking
about この映画館. Then, 水曜日は implies that the price is what it is on Wednesday, as
compared to another day / other days when the price is something else
(contrastive marker).
