Box office
YOUR TEAR-STAINED WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: John Green’s mega-selling young-adult novel The Fault in Our Stars has made a successful transition to the big screen, drawing a sizable, overwhelmingly young and female audience. But it was a disappointing weekend, domestically if not globally, for the critically acclaimed, Tom Cruise-starring sci-fi film Edge of Tomorrow, directed by action auteur Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity). And Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West went in the toilet in its second weekend—fittingly, considering its subject matter.
1. The Fault in Our Stars (Fox) – $48.20m, 3,173/$15,191avg. (debut)
2. Maleficent (Disney) – $33.5m (-51.7%), 3,948/$8,491 avg. (week 2)
3. Edge of Tomorrow (WB) – $29.1m, 3,490/$8,340 avg. (debut)
4. X-Men: Days of Future Past (Fox) – $14.7m (-54.8%), 3,639/$4,040 avg. (week 3)
5. A Million Ways to Die in the West (Uni) – $7.2m (-57.2%), 3,160/$2,275 (week 2)
Chef (Open Road), roughly doubling its theater count to 1,298, gained 36% to $2.6m on great word of mouth; John Favreau’s tasty concoction is shaping up as the feel-good movie of the summer for grown-ups. More on Box Office Mojo. (6/9a)
