] Aftermath [ edit ] Terminator 2: Judgment Day launched the careers or raised |
the profiles of its principal actors. According to industry professionals, |
Schwarzenegger became the top international star ahead of actors such as Mel |
Gibson and Tom Cruise . [111] It also marked the start of a lasting friendship |
between Schwarzenegger and Cameron, who formed a "midlife crisis motorcycle |
club" and reunited for the action film True Lies (1994). [4] Cameron and |
Hamilton began a romantic relationship in 1991, married in 1997, and later |
divorced. [18] [162] In 1992 Cameron was given a five-year, $500 million |
contract by 20th Century Fox to produce twelve films. [163] [164] Furlong |
became a highly sought after actor and Patrick found dealing with his new- |
found recognition difficult as people asked him to impersonate the T-1000. [4] |
Despite the film's success, Carolco reported 1991 losses of $265.1 million, |
which was caused by the financial problems of its other films and |
subsidiaries. Support from investors failed to prevent the studio filing for |
bankruptcy in 1995 and its assets, including Terminator 2 , were sold to Canal |
Plus for $58 million. [ad] Home media [ edit ] In December 1991, Terminator 2: |
Judgment Day was released on VHS and LaserDisc . [170] [171] [172] It was a |
popular rental in the U.S. and Canada, with a record 714,000 copies shipped to |
retailers, and it became the best-selling rental by mid-January 1992. [ae] |
Varèse Sarabande released Fiedel's score, which spent six weeks on the |
Billboard 200 record chart, peaking at number 70\. [97] [179] The theme song |
"You Could Be Mine" peaked at number 29 on the U.S. Billboard 100 , and |
performed well in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Spain, and Canada. |
[180] [181] [182] A "Special Edition" LaserDisc was released in 1993, |
featuring a 15-minute extended version of the film that restored deleted |
scenes, interviews with cast and crew, storyboards, designs, and unrestored |
deleted scenes. Cameron stated he did not use the label "Director's Cut" |
because he considered the theatrical releases to be definitive and the |
extended versions as opportunities to restore "depth and character made |
omissible by theatrical running time". [79] [183] The theatrical version was |
released on DVD in 1997. [184] In 2000, an "Ultimate Edition" DVD was |
released, containing the theatrical and "Special Edition" cuts, and a new |
"Extended Cut", containing a scene of the T-1000 inspecting John's bedroom, |
and the alternate ending. Terminator 2 special effects coordinator Van Ling |
supervised the release. [79] [185] [186] The "Extreme Edition" was released in |
2003, featuring the theatrical and "Special Edition" cuts, a remastered 1080p |
image, Cameron's first commentary, and a documentary about the film's |
influence on special effects. [185] Terminator 2 was released on Blu-ray in |
2006, followed in 2009 by a "Skynet Edition" that contains the theatrical and |
"Special Edition" cuts, and commentaries with the cast and crew. This release |
includes a limited collector's set containing the Blu-ray, the "Ultimate" and |
"Extreme" editions on DVDs, a digital download version, all extant special |
features, and a 14-inch (360 mm) T-800 skull bust. [187] [188] A 4K Ultra HD |
Blu-ray version that includes a standard Blu-ray and digital version, was |
released in 2017. This release also offered a collector's option that includes |
one of 6,000 life-size replicas of a T-800 skeleton forearm, each signed by |
Cameron and individually numbered, the soundtrack, the theatrical, "Special", |
"Extended", and 2017 3D remaster cuts, and "Reprogramming the Terminator", a |
documentary that includes interviews with Schwarzenegger, Cameron, Furlong, |
and others. [189] [190] [191] Other media [ edit ] Main articles: List of |

Across Time Terminator 2: Judgment Day was marketed with numerous tie-in |
products, including toys, puppets, trading cards, jigsaw puzzles, clothing, a |
perfume named "Hero", and a novelization by Randall Frakes that expands on the |
film's ending. [af] In 1991 Marvel Comics adapted the film into a comic book, |
which was followed by expansions of the Terminator 2 narrative, including |
Malibu Comics 's "Cybernetic Dawn" and "Nuclear Twilight" (1995–1996), |
Dynamite Entertainment 's "Infinity" and "Revolution" (2007), and the T2 novel |
series by S. M. Stirling in the early 2000s. [195] [196] Several video game |
adaptations of Terminator 2 were published, including a pinball machine and an |
arcade game in 1991. The arcade game was popular enough to be ported to home |
consoles as T2: The Arcade Game . [ag] Multiple studios developed widely |
differing adaptations for home consoles, including Terminator 2 for Game Boy |
and Terminator 2 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). [193] A later |
adaptation was developed for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment |
System , and a different game was published for home computers . [193] [197] |
[200] Merchandise for Terminator 2: Judgment Day was estimated to have |
generated $400 million in sales. [119] In 1996, T2-3D: Battle Across Time , a |
live-action attraction, was opened at Universal Studios Florida , and later at |
locations in Hollywood and Japan . The twenty-minute attraction was co-written |
and directed by Cameron and cost $60 million to produce, including live-action |
stunts and a $24 million, 12-minute, 3D film starring Schwarzenegger, |
Hamilton, Patrick, and Furlong as their in-world characters, making it the |
most-expensive film per minute produced of its time. In it, Sarah and John |
attempt to stop Cyberdyne, which has developed Skynet. They are confronted by |
the T-1000 but saved by the T-800, which returns to 2029 with John to defeat |
Skynet and its latest creation, the T-1000000. [201] [202] [203] 3D remaster [ |
