NBCUniversal Unveils The Steven Spielberg Theater
In 1970 when Sidney Sheinberg, then President of Universal Pictures, signed a young filmmaker named Steven Spielberg to his first contract, it’s doubtful Sheinberg could have known he was changing the course of cinema. But over the last 50 years, that is exactly what Spielberg has done. Universal and Spielberg’s prolific relationship includes such timeless classics as Jaws (1975), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Jurassic Park (1993), and the Oscar-winning masterpiece, Schindler’s List (1993).
“It is such an honor to have Steven as the namesake of this theater,” said Donna Langley, Chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment. “Our dream is for this place to showcase the vision of future filmmakers and storytellers who are going to take our Studio into the next 100 years.”
