  "account": "Terminator 2: Judgment Day, released in 1991, is widely regarded as the best sequel of all time. On August 29, 1997, the date of the original film's nuclear holocaust, the franchise marks its 35th anniversary. StudioCanal commemorates this occasion with a special theatrical re-release of the film this weekend. Below are some of the favorite scenes from this seminal sci-fi action blockbuster, containing many spoilers.\n\nThe film's success is surprising, as 1984's The Terminator initially struggled at the box office, earning $78 million against a budget of $6.4 million. Arnold Schwarzenegger was eager to star in a sequel, but Cameron was occupied with other projects, including Aliens in 1986. Legal issues over film rights also complicated matters until Schwarzenegger convinced Carolco Pictures, the studio behind Total Recall (1990), to sell everyone out and hire Cameron to make Judgment Day.",
