A cinema audience at Hollywood's Arclight cinema "went crazy" after the projector stopped working during a late-night screening last night of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

A short clip shot by Eric Melendez, a student at UCLA, shows members of the audience shouting "no" in response to the failed projector.

"The 3D show at the Arclight stopped, then started again towards the end of the movie. The movie was spoiled and everyone in the theater went crazy," an audience member said.

The acclaimed new Star Wars film is breaking box office records during its first weekend.
