50 years ago, today on June 20th, 1975, Jaws, one of the most iconic horror movies ever made, was released in theaters.
The film faced numerous production issues, including mechanical problems with the shark, challenging weather conditions, and script difficulties. These problems led to delays, budget overruns, and frustration among the cast and crew. Despite all of this, including Universal Pictures almost shutting the production down when it’s original 3.5 million production shot to almost 9 million, "JAWS" proved to be an instant hit upon its debut in 1975, as it terrified moviegoers with its blood-chilling depiction of a shark hunt in the harsh waters of New England.
It proved to be a smash hit, as it earned more than $477 million worldwide.
From everyone at Terror Films Releasing:
HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY JAWS!
You never looked better!
