News Summary:

On July 7, 2026, *Terminator 2: Judgment Day*, directed by James Cameron, was announced for a global re-release this year to commemorate its 35th anniversary, with the film widely regarded as one of the greatest sequels and action movies ever made. Previously, on June 30, Sony began notifying PlayStation users that 551 films and TV shows they had purchased would be removed from their video libraries starting September 1, 2026, due to an expired licensing agreement with StudioCanal. This followed earlier notifications from June 28, which informed PlayStation users that movies from the StudioCanal catalog would no longer be available after the same date, raising concerns about digital ownership. Also on June 30, StudioCanal released a new international trailer and poster for Eli Roth's *ICE CREAM MAN*, a film set to debut in cinemas this August, depicting an idyllic summer town's descent into madness.
