Jaws Film Franchise

The Jaws film franchise, beginning with Steven Spielberg's 1975 adaptation of Peter Benchley's novel. Widely regarded as the first modern blockbuster, the original Jaws became the highest-grossing film of its time and fundamentally changed how Hollywood marketed and released major films. Three sequels followed between 1978 and 1987, none directed by Spielberg, each diminishing in critical reception but extending the franchise's cultural footprint.

Based on Jaws by Peter Benchley Released 1975–1987 Studio Universal Pictures
