“Magic Mike XXL” and “Terminator: Genisys” officially opened today — but both got in some early screenings at theaters last night.

Both newcomers are expected to do well over the long 4th of July holiday weekend, however, they have a lot of stiff competition with popular holdouts “Jurassic World,” “Inside Out,” and Ted 2.” More on the Hollywood Reporter website.
