Director Steven Spielberg has revealed he battled to prevent a sequel to ET the Extra-Terrestrial being made, calling it a “real hard-fought victory.”
The beloved family sci-fi film became the highest-grossing movie of all time when it was released in 1982. It held the record until the 1990s when it was overtaken by Spielberg’s own Jurassic Park, which has spawned a whole franchise worth of sequels and reboots.
