Such cinematic time capsules have been a fixture at the New Beverly, a 225-seat, single-screen theater that is emblematic of an art house revival in Los Angeles and beyond. The theater shows studio classics and cult films, including many movies by Mr. Tarantino. And last July, when “Once Upon a Time” was released, it was added to the lineup, selling out more than 50 consecutive screenings.

“I saw it at the New Bev on opening night, and Tarantino was actually in the theater,” said Kevin Vasquez, 31, an assistant at an entertainment management company. “He was laughing and watching his movie, along with everybody else.”

The film, which is nominated for 10 Academy Awards including for best picture and best director, still draws hundreds of moviegoers every weekend, even though it has been available for streaming since November.

For Tarantino fans like Jackie Greed, who works at Amoeba Music nearby, there is no better place to obsess over the movie’s details. “I’m never bored with this movie,” said Ms. Greed, 50, who went three times that first month. “I still find little things to take in and pick up on. I don’t think I’ve reached my limit.”
