Naturally, it kicks off with 50th anniversary celebrations of the one that started it all, Steven Spielberg’s iconic Jaws. Events include Alamo Drafthouse’s fan favorite Movie Parties, the return of the fan-favorite Jaws on the Water event, and a once-in-a-lifetime Rolling Roadshow screening in Martha’s Vineyard with live orchestral accompaniment
But the Great Bites fun goes even deeper than that, with an exclusive screening of IFC Films and Shudder’s shark horror thriller DANGEROUS ANIMALS - screening for the first time on the water ahead of its nationwide theatrical release on June 6th. Additionally, there will be a curated repertory series highlighting the gnarliest creatures from the depths of cinema history.
“Whether you're floating on the water, sitting in a theater, or standing on the very shores of the filming location of Amity Island from Jaws, we’re creating unforgettable experiences for fans all summer long,” said Michael Kustermann, CEO of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.
The Jaws Movie Party and Jaws on the Water in Texas are both presented by the Texas Lottery in celebration of its Jaws-inspired scratch ticket, available June 2 at local Texas Lottery® retailers.
