’50 Years of Summer Fright’: ‘Jaws’ hits half-century mark
1
On June 20th, 1975, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws was released. The film – which is considered to be the first ever ‘Summer Blockbuster’ – induced visceral audience reactions once it hit theaters.
Viewers screamed, jumped out of their seats, and even fainted. The movie subsequently led to a decline in beach attendance.
Jaws would become the first film ever to reach and surpass $100 million in domestic box office earnings. Dive into some more frightful facts, the water’s fine.
