The Fault in Our Stars, starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, finished first by earning an estimated $48-million on its debut weekend.

Second place went to last weekend's leader, Maleficent, with Angelina Jolie. It had another good weekend, earning $34-million.

Third was the new science fiction thriller, Edge of Tomorrow, with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. It took in a healthy $29-million in its debut.
