What are ある and わけ in 「どこにでもあるわけではありません」?


Here is the sentence for context.

> 独立系の映画館はシネコンと違っていて、チケットが安いのですが、どこにでも **あるわけ** ではありません。

My translation - Independent cinemas are different from multiplex ones as they
have cheaper tickets but _not everywhere has one._

Its the last bit of my translation that I'm not sure about, I can't seem to
figure out what this あるわけ is. I know ある is 'to have' whilst ではありません is a
negative state but what is this わけ?




Your translation is close, but a little off. The pattern `〜わけ{では・じゃ}ない` means
"Does not (necessarily) mean that 〜". The `ある` here is for existence, not for
possession. So it would translate as

>   * 独立系の映画館はシネコンと違っていて、チケットが安いのですが、どこにでもあるわけではありません。 → Independent theatres
> differ from big multiplexes; the tickets are cheap(er), but they are not
> (necessarily) found everywhere/all over.
>

I believe @Yakobu's translation is incorrect. To make a claim that "there is
no way they are everywhere" seems too strong. `〜わけ{では・じゃ}ない` means the may not
be everywhere, although they _could_ be and the speaker just doesn't know it.
The point is that there is room for doubt. Here are some examples I've found.

>   * だからといってそれが間違っている訳ではない → "This doesn't mean (that) it is wrong" → It's
> inferred that it _could_ be wrong.
>   * と言ってもそれは君が間違っていないというわけではない → "However, that's not to say that you are
> right (not mistaken)" → It's inferred that you _could_ be right (not
> mistaken).
