JAWS.. Returns to the big screen next month! - Blu-ray Forum

Himmel · 05-28-2015, 08:19 PM

Jaws celebrates its 40th Birthday next month and we will be seeing it back on the big screen, but it's going to be via Fathom Events.

Fathom is notorious for advertising big screen returns of classic movies and then only sending a DVD (not even Blu-Ray) that the theaters tend to play on their advertising projectors, not even the heavy duty digital bad boys.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow and the screenings will happen between June 21st and June 24th across the country.

I hope they CGI in a new shark this time and add new scenes with it in them.

July 4th happens to be on a Saturday this year, and they couldn't manage to schedule any screenings for that weekend?

Why spend the money to see Jaws in the theater, (unless Jaws is going to be presented in IMAX), when you already have the blu-ray movie at home, and can watch it anytime you want. That's the purpose of buying a movie!

With posts like this you clearly prove that you don't work for a movie studio. Some of the things you post on here make way too much sense.

Sorry. This is a 40th anniversary release and the 40th Anniversary is the 20th. July 4th has nothing to do with the release of the movie.
For ONCE, the studios did the right thing. 4th of July would be a WTF moment.

One of the new scenes should be Quint bites first.

Maybe they could do a CGI scene where they all sit around a table and eat fish and chips?
