Screen E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial at a Cinema Near You

Imagine a night where you and your friends can relive the magic of childhood with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, brought to life by the brilliant direction of Steven Spielberg in 1982. Starring the unforgettable Henry Thomas as Elliott, this film captures the essence of friendship and wonder. Picture the iconic scene when Elliott and E.T. soar through the night sky on a bicycle—a moment that’s even more breathtaking on the big screen. With its heartfelt story, E.T. was a box office sensation, grossing over $400 million and enchanting audiences of all ages. “I’ll be right here,” serves as a poignant reminder of connection. Create a community cinema hire or movie night and let E.T. remind us why it’s better to experience films in the cinema with friends than at home.
