Nowadays, it’s nothing for a movie to gross over a $100 million at the box office. However, back in 1975 that just didn’t happen. So when Jaws became the first movie to do so, it was a major ordeal. One of the main reasons it was able to make so much money was the fact that it was released in more than 400 theaters in the United States, the first movie to be released in that many theaters. Jaws would remain as the highest grossing film of all time for the next two years until another iconic movie was released. Maybe you’ve heard of it, it’s a little film called Star Wars.
