Jaws 50th Anniversary Screenings Launch Across US, UK Cinemas

The 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's iconic 1975 film 'Jaws' is being celebrated nationwide with special screenings and events from late August through early September. Various theaters, including the Dietrich Theater in Pennsylvania, Showcase Cinemas in the UK, Circle Cinema in Tulsa, and Universal Cinema in Universal CityWalk, are showcasing the film, often with unique features such as 3D presentations and ocean conservation tie-ins. Circle Cinema is collaborating with the Oklahoma Aquarium and Tulsa Global Alliance to raise awareness about ocean conservation, featuring appearances by the aquarium's mascot and introductions from Wendy Benchley, wife of the novel's author. The film is widely credited with creating the summer blockbuster genre and remains a cultural milestone recognized for its suspenseful storytelling and memorable score by John Williams. Fans can also enjoy special events such as film previews, themed Opening Nights, and upcoming exhibits like the one at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles. These commemorations highlight not only the film's enduring popularity but also its impact on movie history and ocean conservation advocacy.
