E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Comes To Blu-ray This October

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial comes to Blu-ray for the first time ever this October, in celebration of the film’s 30th anniversary. Featuring an all-new, digitally remastered picture that delivers six times the resolution of DVD, as well as all-new 7.1 surround sound, the E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Anniversary Edition includes the 1982 theatrical movie, an all-new interview with director Steven Spielberg, and “The E.T. Journals” featuring never-before-seen footage from the set of the film.

In 1982, E.T. became the biggest blockbuster of the year, ranking #1 over 16 weekends. Even today, E.T. remains the fourth most successful movie of all-time in the United States! The unforgettable cast includes the adorable Drew Barrymore, Henry Thomas, Dee Wallace, and Peter Coyote.

“When E.T. premiered in 1982, it captured the imaginations of people in a way that was unparalleled in modern movie history,” said Craig Kornblau, President of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. “A global cultural phenomenon—and the biggest box-office blockbuster of its day—E.T. brought out the child in all of us. We are thrilled audiences will now be able to experience the film in the astounding quality of Blu-ray.”
