Despite not earning its projected intake of $55 million at the weekend, Josh Boone’s adaptation of John Green’s YA novel THE FAULT IN OUR STARS is still leading the way at the US box office with $48 million. Still sounds pretty good to us. Even with a slight dip in weekend takings, the film can definitely be called a success.
Disney’s MALEFICENT is second in line with a not too shabby $33 million. But don’t get too excited just yet – THE FAULT IN OUR STARS took more money just on Friday than MALEFICENT took on its opening day.
Not so good news for Tom Cruise and Warner Bros. though. The sci-fi action EDGE OF TOMORROW only took $29 million. Only!? I know, but to put it into context, it cost a reported $179 million to make. The movie bosses will no doubt be hoping it turns out to be a slow burner. Surely the lure of Cruise will pay off?
