That secured the iconic film the number two spot for the Labor Day weekend. As expected, <em>Weapons<\/em> kept the top spot as it continues to prove the power of well-funded and strongly marketed original horror.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But it\u2019s the <em>Jaws<\/em> rerelease and its box office performance that deserves the discussion this week. If I have anything even remotely approaching followers at this point, they will know that <em>Jaws<\/em> is the greatest achievement in the history of the cinematic art form. No other motion picture has, or ever will, surpass what Steven Spielberg released into the world in 1975. That\u2019s the reality I\u2019m forced to experience in this prison of pulsating flesh that houses the boundless imagination of my consciousness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So yes, a <em>Jaws<\/em> rerelease doing well at the box office doesn\u2019t surprise me at all because <em>Jaws<\/em> is the best movie ever made. What does surprise me is that two new releases aimed squarely at adult crowds, <em>Caught Stealing<\/em> and <em>The Roses<\/em>, couldn\u2019t manage to squeak over the line to beat it. That\u2019s not a judgment call on either of those movies. Rather, it makes me think about what movie theaters need to start concentrating on moving forward.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Restored Classics Deserve The Theater<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <em>Jaws<\/em> rerelease was the most recent high-resolution restoration of the movie and it looks incredible. It\u2019s rough out there with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/james-cameron\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:James Cameron;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">James Cameron<\/a> letting Skynet restore his movies to make everyone inhumanly slick, so knowing <em>Jaws<\/em> has been treated with love and respect in restoration is very refreshing. But it also matters because these kinds of movies deserve to be revisited and discovered in movie theaters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Jaws<\/em> is considered the original summer blockbuster movie. It changed the entire distribution model of theatrical exhibition and we\u2019ve never really gotten away from it in fifty years. That alone makes it the kind of movie that should be given a regal rerelease in the biggest and best possible exhibition. Hell, Universal would do well to make sure you can always see a screening of <em>Jaws<\/em> in the summer and make it a tradition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That stands to reason with so many <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/ent\/best-classic-movies.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:classic movies;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">classic movies<\/a>. Through different movie theater chains and distribution outlets, there is a healthy ecosystem of archive screenings happening at any given time. While every movie can\u2019t be <em>Jaws<\/em>, there are plenty of classics that would do well to get the kind of marketing push that <em>Jaws<\/em> got for this special anniversary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And maybe that\u2019s where more of the marketing money needs to be going now.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Market More For Rereleases<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/l7tBtspAM1hO.1sjWQfXQQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/8b55dac338a450be0263b486f4141892\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I don\u2019t want to rag on <em>Caught Stealing<\/em> or <em>The Roses<\/em>. I haven\u2019t seen them and I don\u2019t plan on it. I like the fact they are R-rated movies aimed at adult audiences. I don\u2019t want those to go away at the box office. However, it\u2019s becoming clearer that marketing movies means more than ever in the new age of entertainment. Movies like <em>Caught Stealing<\/em> and <em>The Roses<\/em> surely had sizable enough marketing spends (especially <em>The Roses<\/em>) but they could not beat the beast that is <em>Jaws<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That tells me that if movie studios were willing to spend some real marketing dollars on rereleasing certain movies, they could probably make a hefty profit on a more regular basis. While there are plenty of classics like <em>Jaws<\/em> that are primed to do well, it would be nice to see movie studios actually embrace a larger swath of their catalogs and market their rereleases as events you don\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If there are movie rereleases playing at a theater near you, you should check them out and go enjoy some! But, it would be nice to see more rereleases given the kind of support we saw for <em>Jaws<\/em> this Labor Day weekend. It would be nice if you didn\u2019t have to work as hard to know they were available. The movie studios should be spending more money getting your attention about them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaws got a rerelease in movie theaters this weekend in honor of its 50th anniversary, and it took in around $10 million at the box office across 3,200 screens.
