This event was in conjunction with the release of the Warner Bros. Legend of Tarzan and we received a June 28 pre-release showing of the highly anticipated film on the Warner Bros. movie lot. The WB theater accommodated 200 guests. Movie lot security required everyone in attendance to have pre-registered and to present an ID upon exiting the bus. 

Warner Bros. will open their WB lot and museum for a three-hour tour, limited to 60 people. Bus transportation was provided to carry guests from the Marriott hotel to and from the Warner Bros. movie lot in Burbank.
