Just figured out how to force Genymotion 2.7.2 to work on OS X.
You should have Genymotion 2.7.2 and homebrew installed.
or if you have it already installed
remember: find returns a list (old homebrew packages will be included), so if you have several homebrew openssl versions you should skip third command (cp find stage) and copy openssl dylib manually
Fix for: Genymotion.app
Fix for: Genymotion Shell.app
P.S.: It seems that libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib in Genymotion 2.7.0 – 2.7.2 was built for Sandy Bridge or newer CPU’s and crashing on instruction
vxorps %xmm0, %xmm0, %xmm0
EDIT:
missed commands to update embedded player.app (genymotion VM tool), but we need to update it too… if we want to run VM’s 😉
Fix for: player.app
Now Genymotion 2.7.2 works
Solution no. 2:
Upd. I downgrade to version 2.6.0, and that fix this problem.

Solution no. 3:
I can confirm that Genymotion 2.6.0 works on a Mac that presents this problem. Download link
Solution no. 4:
I can confirm this with OS 10.11.5, Genymotion 2.7.0 or 2.7.1 or the actual 2.7.2 using the actual VirtualBox 5.0.24
I even uninstalled Genymotion totally
like told in the FAQ, doing this:
Genymotion – Android Emulator For App Testing Cross-platform ...
But no change. All three versions 2.7.0, 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 are not working, because they crash immediately at start, even with a previous clean uninstall.
Genymotion Macos Update
Genymotion 2.6.0 works though, like the others wrote. But now there are differences between the images, in the download I get 2.7.2 images and no more 2.6.0 images, which gives then warnings and difficutlites as well.
I asked the support and will post here the results if there.
