Movies - 1977 in film


Events

  • May 25 - Star Wars opens in theaters and becomes the highest grossing movie to date. The film revolutionizes the use of special effects in film and television production, and also popularizes the notion of omitting any sort of opening credits sequence, something that would become commonplace in American cinema by the mid-1990s. In 1977, however, it attracted heavy criticism and director George Lucas ultimately resigned from several film production guilds over his decision.
  • The average price of a movie ticket in the United States is about $2.25
