I am aware that in Greece, Libanon, Cyprus, Egypt and some other countries, the films do not arrive on actual reel spools, but they arive in boxes with centre cores on each reel and sometimes nothing! It is a "custom" to chop down the head and tails leaders from the films (although most times these do not exist since the subtitling company usually removes them and places a white numbered labeled sticker at each reel) and just keep chopping off frames from cinema to cinema (I know you will say FILM DONE WRONG) and therefore the next projectionist rely on the labels placed on each reel. Considering that in free Cyprus we only have 4 major cities with 1 cineplex (5 to 6 screens) and 1 double screen theater in each city, and each city usually gets it own new print, not much damage happens to them. I have to appreciate the fact that our projectionists here are quite thoughtfull when it comes to film handling and they almost never damage prints. We also don't have problems with DTS discs (unlike most of you!), and we have some villages who run single screens and struggling to survive (although all village owners used to be from the middleages! so they do it for their own pleasure and not for the money).
