Weekend #2 of the summer is nearly always a bust for new releases as they get swallowed up by the opening biggie. This weekend is no different as only one of the three releases is even listed in Boxoffice Pro’s forecast. Wisely, no one picked either Book Club: The Next Chapter or Hypnotic, both of which were panned by the critics. But we did have 1 player select the animated flick Rally Road Racers. Hey, the critics do seem to like it… and it does have the great Jimmy O. Yang voicing a racer. JIAN YANG!!
