Jaws Kicks Off Cinemark's Fall Classic Films Series

Cinemark Holdings, the world's highest attended motion picture exhibitor, has announced that the Steven Spielberg iconic blockbuster, Jaws, will kick off their "Fall Classics Series" in over 150 Cinemark theatres across the country. As part of Universal Pictures' ongoing 100th Anniversary celebration, Jaws was one of 13 classic Universal films to be digitally remastered and fully restored from 35mm original film elements. Over the course of several months, skilled technicians worked with Steven Spielberg to meticulously balance color, remove dirt and scratches, and repair any damage to the film elements shot by shot and frame by frame.

Jaws is set to open in select Cinemark theaters using the Cinemark XD Extreme Digital Cinema screens on Thursday August 23rd.

In addition to Jaws, Cinemark will screen six titles that were visionary films at their time of release, and still stand as true "classics" in every sense of the word. The list of films and dates of their presentation are:

August 23 - Jaws (1975)
August 30 - High Noon (1952)
September 6 - Doctor Zhivago (1965)
September 13 - Chinatown (1974)
September 20 - The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
September 27 - The African Queen (1951)
