Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, the original summer blockbuster, was released fifty years ago, in 1975. To mark its fiftieth anniversary, a new documentary — Jaws @ 50 — was released on blu-ray, and the film is being rereleased in cinemas worldwide. Jaws will open in Thailand on 25th September.
Jaws was shown five years ago at the Thai Film Archive in Salaya, as part of the World Class Cinema (ทึ่ง! หนังโลก) season. A planned screening at Scala in Bangkok was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

There are two other classics also being rereleased this month, both on IMAX screens: Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke (もののけ姫) opens today in IMAX DMR format (and at regular cinemas), and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight opens on 18th September.
When The Dark Knight was shown at the Paragon Cineplex IMAX on its original release in 2008, it was projected in 70mm. Sadly, the 70mm projector was removed in 2020 after repeatedly breaking down. In fact, from today, the Paragon IMAX cinema is temporarily closed for renovation, meaning that Thailand has no full-size IMAX screen currently in operation.
