has anyone noticed an adhesive on the film? its causing wraps for this movie, I had to clean the entire print.

No problems with my 2 prints... except for poor box office performance.

TWO?!?! Your booker over-estimated that one...

No problems with the one print that I have.

Patrick- maybe your print got wet along the edges?

yes, last reel at the very end but I have not had any problems with it triping the wrap detector.

Zero problems whatsoever between 2 prints at 2 locations.

No issues with my one print (in an 90 seat house).

When I previewed this thing, the only problem I noticed was how dry the print was. Gave it 2 passes with FG, and it shut right up. Unfortunately, this bomb is hogging my one Dolby house! Wait until tonight (thursday)

At least now a days you don't have to deal with these problems for very long, with all these crappy movies being pulled after a week of opening... Just wait it out.

no issues with the hitcher whatsoever, i work with a bunch of bad film handlers, and there's a ton of static in my booth so i run every print through with film guard and i never experience any problems, scratches, or dirt on films....even on the marcus ultrascreen. using film-guard is my best advice.
