Box Office Actuals: ‘Fault in Our Stars’ With $48 Million, ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ Tops Out at $28.7m

The Fault in Our Stars couldn’t quite make it to $50 million, finishing the weekend with $48 million on a $12 million budget, but I don’t think the studio will be complaining about a film that hits a four-times multiplier in its first three days. Not to mention one that added an additional $17 million from overseas for a global opening weekend of $65 million.

The news wasn’t quite so chipper for Edge of Tomorrow as the Tom Cruise starrer stumbled domestically to the total of $28.7 million, though it did manage an additional $111 million overseas for a total that is now at $139.7 million. For a film budgeted at $175 million this is a terrible start and something we’re talking about right over here if you’re interested.

As for the holdovers, Maleficent held on very well, dropping only 50.6% for a second weekend of $34.3 million and a global cume of $336.2 million. With a $180 million budget, however, this one has a long way to go.

Thankfully A Million Ways to Die in the West was made for peanuts at $40 million so the fact it made only $7.3 million this weekend, dropping 56.3% for a cume of $30.3 million doesn’t matter so much, though it is still likely to end in the red once all is said and done.
