Tarantino Walked Across The Street From Westwood Village To The Bruin Westwood
By Dolores Quintana
Acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino showed his support for “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” and took in a double feature of Barbenheimer at two Westwood cinemas. The ‘Kill Bill” director was seen buying tickets for both movies with his friend and co-host of the Video Archives Podcast, director Roger Avary.
The ticket-buying moment was captured in a photo tweeted by Saul Gonzalez, Host and correspondent for KQED’s, The California Report. Tarantino and Avary’s love for cinema and enthusiasm for the two films was further confirmed by The Video Archives Podcast, who retweeted Gonzalez’s tweet and said that their hosts were just doing what they loved to do best.
Tarantino and Avary walked across the street from the Westwood Village Cinema to the Fox Bruin, which, coincidentally, was the setting for a scene in Tarantino’s last film, “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.” In the scene, Sharon Tate, coincidentally played by “Barbie” star Margot Robbie, snuck into the Fox Bruin theater to watch an audience watch one of her films, “The Wrecking Crew.”
“Barbie” director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie posted a photo of their tickets for their opening day Barbenheimer double feature to show support for “Oppenheimer” in a show of cinema solidarity. The meme seems to be working as the two films had the fourth largest opening weekend in history, and to date, “Barbie” has earned $366,422,042, and “Oppenheimer” has earned $181,420,520.
