Mercato and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema present outdoor screening of JAWS

NAPLES, Fla. - EntSun -- Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will present an outdoor screening of the 1975 American thriller film JAWS on Tuesday, Aug. 20, at Mercato for its monthly series, Movies on the Lawn.

In partnership with Mercato, the screening of JAWS will begin at 8:15 p.m. on the event lawn. Prior to the movie, families can enjoy shark-themed activities starting at 7 p.m., including a shark race, magnet fishing game, dunk tank, face painting and spin-to-win prize wheel with chances to win movie and popcorn passes. Additionally, attendees are encouraged to arrive early for an opportunity to receive complimentary popcorn, soda and water provided by Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.

In Steven Spielberg's famed summer blockbuster, the snoozy resort town of Amity Island finds itself plunged into a never-ending nightmare after a shark with a voracious appetite begins prowling the once-tranquil waters. It's up to police chief Brody, oceanographer Hooper and veteran shark hunter Quint to save the town from this seemingly unstoppable predator. More than 40 years later, everyone still recognizes John Williams' Oscar-winning score as one of the most iconic pieces of film music.
