Romantic drama & quot;The Fault in our Stars & quot; -- a love story about teenagers who meet at a cancer support group -- soared at the North American box office, industry estimates showed Sunday. The movie, based on a popular young adult novel by John Green, raked in $48.2 million in its opening weekend, pushing last week & #039;s number one & quot;Maleficent & quot; down to the number two slot. & quot;Maleficent & quot; -- starring and produced by megastar Angelina Jolie -- is a modern retelling of the life of Sleeping Beauty & #039;s arch-nemesis. The wicked witch who has haunted generations of children earned a still impressive $33.5 million in its second weekend in theaters, industry tracker Exhibitor Relations said.
