Just get your PS3 online and update the software, and then the encryption key will be renewed. And then you can try playing the Blu-ray disc again. There's another way for you to watch the movie on PS3 and that is to convert the Blu-ray movie to MP4. As the video player in PS3 allows playback of MP4 videos from USB drives, you can put the MP4 video in your drive and easily play it with your PS3. That could be a simpler solution. You can check out how you can rip your Blu-ray movie to MP4 in this link: How to Rip and Convert Blu ray to MP4 with Blu ray to MP4 Converter

I need to renew my ps3 BD encryption key to watch blue ray movie

Some newer blu ray discs require that your system be updated to view the movie. This is due to a security "encryption" set by various movie companies. (they are trying to prevent people from copying their movies).
If your PS3 is connected to the internet this should be done automatically when trying to view the movie.
hope it helps
~good luck!

How to perform system software update to renew encryption key on my playststion 3

You may have to renew the AACS encryption key to play content such as movies on commercially available BD video software (BD-ROM). If a message indicating that the encryption key needs to be renewed is displayed, update the system software to the latest version. The encryption key will then be automatically renewed.
AACS (Advanced Access Control System) is a copyright-protection technology that is used on Blu-ray Discs. The copyrighted content is protected by setting an encryption key on both the disc and the device used to play the disc.
An AACS encryption key expires in 12 to 18 months and must be renewed. There may also be other times when the key has to be renewed. in the manual
