Swampscott Fan Fam Ringleader at Grown Ups 2 Premiere
Grown Ups 2 superfan Julie Russell made it to NYC for the movie premiere.
The world's biggest Grown Ups 2 fan who also happens to be the head of the Swampscott Fan Fam was in New York City on Wednesday, July 10, for the premiere of the movie, the event, the sequel — Grown Ups 2.
The movie opens in theaters nationwide on Friday, July 12.
That superfan would be Julie Russell, who has been dishing out every impression, photo and thought on the movie via social media from the city.
Last summer, Julie and friends from Swampscott were fixtures outside movie sets on the North Shore, calling themselves the Fan Fam.
Julie was also an extra in the movie and, last fall, got invited to a Boston screening of a test version of Grown Ups 2.
At the time she told us that no matter where the premiere was to be shown she would be there.
And there she was. And is. Here are some Julie tweets from the Big City.
