From blockbuster movies to family fun, there's no shortage of great events going on in and around the Hub. Here are five awesome things to do in Boston this weekend.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
Calling all movie-buffs: Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated ninth film comes out this weekend. Set in Los Angeles in 1969, the film centers around TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) as they navigate the fast-changing entertainment industry. This is the first time DiCaprio and Pitt have acted in a movie together. Margot Robbie also stars in the film, as tragic movie star Sharon Tate, who was murdered by the infamous Charlie Manson and his cult. Grab some popcorn and take it all in, as this much-buzzed about movie is sure to be a hit. Opens July 26, various locations, onceuponatimeinhollywood.movie
