First Summer Blockbuster!
Jaws (1975) made waves as the first true summer blockbuster, thanks to Universal’s innovative strategy. Producers D. Brown and R. Zanuck, along with Universal president S. Sheinberg, broke tradition with a summer release, wide distribution, and heavy TV marketing, turning it into a cultural phenomenon!

• Production Cost: ~$1.49m (~$30-32 m today, inflation-adjusted)
• Box Office Gross (without re-release): ~$8m worldwide (~$160-170 m today, inflation-adjusted)
