War of the Worlds would be the third installment in an informal “extraterrestrial life” trilogy that started back in 1977 with Close Encounters of the Third Kind and followed five years later with E.T. the Extra Terrestrial. Principle photography on the picture began a mere seven month’s before its scheduled release date. In effort to give the crew at Industrial Light & Magic enough time to complete the five hundred plus CGI effects, Spielberg started his shoot with the major action sequences.
With the big money shots in the bag, he and his tightly knit crew then headed back to west coast to hit the stages waiting for him at Universal and Twentieth Century Fox Studios. Seventy two days later Spielberg had his film in the can. After a quick and efficient post-production, War of the Worlds was released to an enthusiastic public.
Despite large holes in the plot, and a bad case of Tom Cruise over-exposure, the picture was decorated with generally favorable reviews. Audiences seemed to agree as the film went on to gross well over two hundred million dollars domestically and over five hundred million world wide. Spielberg had once again proved his dominancy over the summer popcorn flicks.
