Not sure if I saw it the opening weekend but I had read the book and I'm sure I saw it right away that summer before my 17th birthday. Regency Square Rocking Chair Theatre in Jacksonville Floirda.
Went with my best friend since 1st grade and we immediately noted the affair was not included in the movie. Typical teenage girls I guess! -

Watching JAWS (1975) on Netflix I remember seeing the poster when I was a kid, it was massive or I was tiny I must have been about 5, because even though the movie came out in 1975, I saw it at the theater in 1977 the day I saw Raggedy Ann and Andy's Musical Adventure, so I believe Jaws was reintroduced in the theaters due to its popularity
JAWS is essentially John Carpenter's Halloween, if Michael Myers was a shark they came out in the same era and both represent a similar idea of brutal danger to the suburban post war dream
I was 2 when JAWS came out.

Let's keep this going, with the same wording
JAWS is essentially William Girdler's Grizzly, if the state park was a small island community -

I honestly can't recall the first time. When it came to the SKC cinema in Germany where my late father was stationed at the time, my older bro sneaked out with a friend (he would have been eleven years-old at the time). I just remember my Mum chastising him the following morning for apparently he came home looking as white as a penguin's belly. I believe it had a PG guidance of 15 or something. But I suspect I saw it in my youth at some stage and must have viewed it dozens of times since.
What I love about Jaws is, no matter how many times I view it, I spot something new (usually in the background), every time! Awesome movie.
