Riding the wave of the massive success of the original 1975 blockbuster Jaws, Universal Studios wasted no time preparing a sequel, capitalizing on the film’s groundbreaking impact on Hollywood and popular culture.
The stark imagery—an enormous great white shark rising from the depths—echoes the iconic poster that terrified moviegoers just a year earlier. At the time, sequels were far less common than they would later become, so this type of campaign helped build anticipation and curiosity. Fans were eager to return to the water… or more accurately, eager not to.
Released in 1978, Jaws 2 kept audiences on edge and helped solidify the trend of blockbuster sequels—something that would become standard in the decades to follow. Today, this billboard stands as a perfect snapshot of late-1970s film culture, when a simple shark silhouette was enough to send a chill—and a thrill—through anyone passing by.
