Thanks Michael. I tried to edit thst original post but time has expired. (?) Maybe Adam will come to the rescue and sort it to the correct reel count.
Unfortunately, the wonderful (!) people at Hoyts Distribution decided we should only get reels 1,3 5 and 7 Monday and 'sometime Wednesday' they'll deliver 2,4,6 (and apparently) 8.
Keep in mind we open it at midnight Wednesday so two prints to build on an ad make-up day...and for what reason? None. It's already on the net for download!
Why on earth they can't be reasonable and realise 1,2,3 and 4 is just as useless to a potential pirate as 1,3,5 and 7. To me it makes a big difference...I can then build the 1st half of the prints. As it is, they should have just kept the whole thing...in fact, next time they can.
Let's hope there's nothing wrong with the prints.
It's crap like this that makes me realize I've just about had enough of this shit.

White spec.'s aren't caused by the speed at which it was printed, at least not directly.
That's IN/DN dust (Inter-/Duplicate negative) on the printing element used to strike the release prints.
If they have to strike a God-awful 2000 prints at one facility, it is more understandable being rushed to clean the film and inspect for scratches.
I saw not only quite a bit of IN dust, but also some partial IN scratches on at least one of our prints last night. Will have to check the number, not that that is any indication that all prints from that IN are affected.
I've always wondered the actual method used to determine how many INs are made, and if they are used until they literally wear themselves out, or if each lab only gets one each unless they ruin theirs.
I also wonder why prints are sent where colors don't match from reel to reel. I assume they just do runs on one reel continuously for all of their prints, then switch to the next reel, but if they are all made from the same IN, you'd think that it wouldn't be so hard to get colors to match, as opposed to having to match different internegatives.
