‘Jaws’ 45th Anniversary Blu-ray Emerges in June

Jaws 45th Anniversary Limited Edition Blu-ray | Universal Pictures

This summer, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment will celebrate 45 years of Jaws with the release of an all-new Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD combo pack with over three hours worth of bonus features. In addition to the special features, the set will also come with a 44-page booklet with introductions, rare photos, storyboards, and other content from the Jaws archives.

Originally released in 1975 by director Steven Spielberg, Jaws is still widely regarded as one of the greatest movies of all time. If Bruce the shark has yet to swim his way into your Blu-ray collection, this seems like as good a time as any to bring him in. If you’re building up your 4K collection, then this will be your first opportunity to own the film in this format, as the 45th anniversary release will also mark the first ever release for Jaws on 4K Ultra HD.

The 45th Anniversary Limited Edition Jaws Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD combo packs will go on sale on June 2, 2020. Per the press released, you can take a look at the artwork and special features for the new Jaws Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD combo packs below.
