On June 10, almost four decades since E.T. first premiered, IMAX will debut the trailer for E.T., which is scheduled to premiere exclusively at screenings of Jurassic World: Dominion on June 10, 2018. The two legendary Spielberg films were both blockbusters in their eras, winning seven Academy Awards.
“No filmmaker, it’s fair to say, has had a greater or more enduring impact on American cinema or has created more indelible cinematic memories for tens of billions of people worldwide,” said Jim Orr, president of domestic theatrical distribution for Universal Pictures in a press release. “We couldn’t think of a perfect way to celebrate the anniversary of E.T. and the first Universal-Spielberg summer blockbuster, Jaws, than to allow audiences to experience these films in a way they’ve never been able to before.”
Look for the movies to premiere in select theaters throughout the United States this summer and fall.
