This July 4th weekend belongs to Disney-Pixar's Inside Out, which will top Universal's Jurassic World. Inside Out won Friday with $12.5M and will finish the weekend with $30.04M. Jurassic World added $11.8M on Friday and will finish its fourth weekend in second place with $28.9M.

Meanwhile, Terminator Genisys is proving to be a box office dud. Outside of 1984's Terminator, Genisys will gross the lowest 3-day and 5-day figures in the franchise's history. Genisys will finish in third place this weekend with $27.3M and its 5-day total will come in at $42.8M. For comparison, Terminator Salvation mustered a 3-day total of $42.6M and a 5-day of $65.3M during 2009's Memorial Day debut.

The one bright spot? Genisys is receiving a favorable 'B+' grade from audiences, despite film critics hammering it with a 29% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Other box office newcomer, Magic Mike XXL, will finish in fourth this weekend with $15.2M and will have a 5-day total of $30.2M. That's a win! Channing Tatum's male-stripper film is already profitable. It only cost $14M to produce as opposed to the $155M Terminator Genisys has to clear in order to turn a profit. And that's not even factoring marketing costs. Ouch!

Ted 2, which debuted last weekend, plunged 67% from last week's figures. It is looking at a fifth place finish with $11M, which will put its domestic total at $58.2M.
