What’s opening in theaters

“Max” (PG) When his handler is killed on the frontlines in Afghanistan, a troubled military dog is shipped back to the U.S. and taken in by the soldier’s family, and both begin to heal. With Josh Wiggins, Lauren Graham and Thomas Haden Church.

“Ted 2” (R) A potty-mouthed teddy bear that’s been magically brought to life wages a legal battle to prove his humanity in this sequel to 2012’s “Ted.” With Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried and the voice of Seth MacFarlane.

“Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” (PG-13) This is a weaselly liar of a movie. (It’s also good.) It comes on full of self-deprecating bluster, professing no interest in jerking tears a la “The Fault in Our Stars,” as it lays out its tale of a Pittsburgh high school senior’s friendship with a fellow classmate diagnosed with cancer. But gradually, as the narrator-protagonist learns to lower his emotional guard, the film lunges, sensitively, for the jugular. Playing at the Nickelodeon theater.

“Magic Mike XXL” (R) Sequel to the sleeper hit about male strippers was shot primarily in Myrtle Beach. With Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello and a cameo by Gaffney’s Andie MacDowell.

“Terminator Genisys” (PG-13) John Connor, now a grown leader of the resistence, is attacked by the past and the future. With Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Clarke
