Studio Canal, Fathom Entertainment, and Rialto Pictures have announced that Terminator 2: Judgment Day will be returning to theaters worldwide to celebrate its 35th anniversary. The screenings are set to commence globally on August 27, 2026.
Director James Cameron expressed his enthusiasm for the theatrical re-release, stating, "T2 was made for theatres, and coming back to the big screen is the absolute best way to see the film." He also humorously remarked on the film's enduring message, "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."
The film, starring Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, is widely regarded as a landmark in action cinema and remains highly influential.
Specific global screening dates include:
August 27, 2026: Germany, LATAM, Czech Republic August 28, 2026: US, Italy, Poland September 2, 2026: France September 3, 2026: Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary September 4, 2026: UK
These theatrical showings coincide with the film's original release year, 1991, and aim to bring the groundbreaking visual effects and intense action back to the cinema experience.
