The film, starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort as two cancer patients who fall in love, is the low-budget adaptation of John Green's bestseller of the same name, reported the Wrap.
The Fox film got a boost from many of novel's women fans who made a whopping 82 per cent of the audience, making it a surprise summer hit.
Last week's No 1, Angelina Jolie-starrer 'Maleficent', another movie that got a boost by a largely female audience, was pushed to the second spot with USD 33.8 million, toppling Cruise's sci-fi saga, which came third with USD 29.1 million over its first three days.
