Ben Hur, probably the first "blockbuster franchise", worked its way from being a hit novel in fucking 1880 to a hit Broadway play to a hit silent film to the hit talkie we remember with Charlton Heston from 1959 Spielberg is remembered for making Jaws a hit "out of nowhere"

Like, the Peter Benchley novel was a bestseller but kind of a trashy one, and more importantly it had *just* been a bestseller, it wasn't a "classic" from years ago
