I have a 120" Da Lite projector screen I'd like to mount under the soffit of my house in the backyard.

I have been exploring sleeve anchors and eye hook plates etc. The screen has two holes on either side, 102" apart from each other. The screen and housing combined is probably around 60-75lb

I want the screen to be removable so wasps don't make a home in it during the summer. I'm planning for it to be used in the Fall for Aggie football.

I want to make sure I do it correctly. Before I drill into brick, I'd like to get confirmation.

You don't drill in the brick. You drill anchors into the mortar lines. You can patch mortar. You can't replace a brick very easily.

Use whatever kind of anchor you used on your hose reel. Should be fine. Not t the end of the world to have a few holes in the brick. Anchor hold better in brick than in mortar. Mortar will flake out around the hole and get loose.

Also kind of depends on hole the unit actually mounts. But any quality anchor designed for brick should be fine. 70lbs split across multiple points isn't much.
