I think there are a few reasons for this...
1 - Jaws was marketed extremely well
2 - Jaws opened on a hell of a lot of screens on the same day, rare at the time
3 - A monosyllabic title
4 - A man eating shark and a damn suspenseful score, how could this movie not do well?

Alley Chick: What?!?
Spike: I mean, honestly, what kind of retard wears heels like that in a dark alley? Take two steps, break your bloody ankle.
Alley Chick: I was just trying to get home.
Spike: Take a cab, you moron. And on the way, if a stranger offers you candy, don’t get in the van! Stupid cow.
