On June 20, 1975, theaters around the United States began showing the picture “Jaws,” which was directed by Steven Spielberg and was released on the same day.
The movie “Jaws” tells the imaginary story of a great white shark that wreaks devastation on a coastal resort located in New England. According to History.com, the movie was a huge success at the box office and was the highest grossing film of all time up until 1977, when “Star Wars” overtook it.
The pioneering movie reportedly won three Academy Awards, including the ones for Best Picture Editing, Best Original Score, and Best Sound, as reported by Slashfilms.com.
