‘Jaws’ Swims Back Into Theaters This Summer for 50th Anniversary

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws is returning to the big screen!

The TCM Classic Film Festival will host the first Jaws screening of the year with a special 50th anniversary presentation in April, followed by a nationwide theatrical re-release from August 29 through September 4.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will kick off its summer-long Jaws celebration over Memorial Day weekend in May, hosting screenings featuring a special menu and fun props along with limited-edition popcorn buckets and merchandise.

A special Jaws on the Water screening will take place on June 21 as part of the Alamo Drafthouse Rolling Roadshow in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, where the film was shot. Additional Jaws on the Water screenings will occur at Lake Travis in Austin, Texas, in June and July.

For those looking to venture to Amity Island from the comfort of home, a 50th anniversary edition of Jaws will be released on physical media and digital with new bonus material this summer. The film will also stream exclusively on Peacock starting June 15 along with Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D, and Jaws: The Revenge.

Look for new Jaws products across fashion, toys, publishing, collectibles, and more throughout the year as well.

Based on the novel by Peter Benchley, the 1975 original summer blockbuster stars Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary, and Murray Hamilton.
