E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial 25th Anniversary (1 Viewer)

[David Owens]

Didn't see a thread opened up for this, but today (June 11th) is the 25th anniversary of the premiere of everyone's favorite Reeses Pieces eating extra-terrestrial.

Yet another in the chain of 1982 released "silver anniversaries" to make us all feel reeeeeeally old.

Will likely go home and pop in the DVD (1982 cut of course) to celebrate!

Time sure flies. Five years ago people were speculating on how much the re-release would make at the BO in the following thread. Most of us overestimated its drawing power.

I went to see the rerelease at the Cinerama Dome during a weekday in '02. It was fairly empty, but I still had a great experience. There's nothing quite like the last 15 minutes when Spielberg blasts away with Williams' uninterrupted music.
