To mark the 35th anniversary, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY will return in cinemas to commemorate T2’s “Judgment Day” (29 August).
Originally released in 1991, T2 remains one of the highest-grossing and most influential films ever made. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, and Robert Patrick, the film earned four Academy Awards® and revolutionized action cinema with effects that still hold up today. TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY holds a 90% critics score and 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
James Cameron comments “T2 was made for theatres, and coming back to the big screen is the absolute best way to see the film. I believe it’s safe to do spoilers after 35 years, so SPOILER ALERT: the good guys win against the AI superintelligence! And maybe that’s a message of hope we all could use this summer.”
Anna Marsh CEO of STUDIOCANAL, Chief Content Officer of CANAL+ expands “We are incredibly proud to mark the 35th anniversary of James Cameron’s masterpiece TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY in partnership with the passionate teams at Fathom Entertainment and Rialto Pictures in the US. This collaboration has been thrilling, and we cannot wait for audiences to mark Judgment Day in theatres all over the world this August. The continued restoration and discovery of classic and revolutionary cinema is the cornerstone of our strategy and it’s particularly gratifying to see the scale of this celebratory re-release come to fruition.”
