Fans and family influencers gathered at the Prince Charles Cinema in London on Sunday 23 October to celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of the most popular movies of all time, Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.
Attendees took a nostalgic trip down memory lane to the 80s-inspired immersive event where they had the opportunity to don a red hoodie and capture content on a replica of the iconic BMX bike with E.T. in tow, before stopping off at an old school video rental store.
Paying homage to 80s movie classics, the shelves were adorned with VHS boxes of iconic films from the era – including E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial – and original analogue TVs displayed the film’s opening sequence.
Also on show was footage and physical product displays of the range of 40th anniversary E.T. products available at retail. Once seated in the retro screening room – with glowing fingers pointed to the sky – all attendees came together to capture a special ‘phone home’ image paying tribute to the seminal moment in movie history.
