I apologize if this subject has already been discussed, but for some reason, the search feature is not working right now.
During our late show on Saturday night, a head wrap occured during the scene in Hitch where Kevin James is in his office spilling stuff all over his desk. A 2nd layer of film had been pulled through the payout control arm and subsequent rollers, leading me to believe static was the culperit. I was also concerned that the film had gotten wet. However, the rest of the print was fine after splicing out a bad spot that had gotten chewed up in the projector during the wrap.
During the first set on Sunday, it happened again in the same area. The rest of the day, we watched the film on the platter during that spot of the movie and there was some noticable clinging for a few layers of film. We've ran it through the cleaner the past two days and I just got a call from another manager that it happened again. Any suggestions? I know that when I go in tomorrow, I'm going to carefully inspect that stretch of film and if I can't find anything wrong, maybe suggest ordering a replacement reel. Thanks.
