Featuring Angelina Jolie's first live-action starring performance in years, "Maleficent" beat forecasts to easily top all films over the weekend. The PG-rated Disney release is a darker twist on "Sleeping Beauty," told from the villain's perspective.This would be as good a time as any to dispatch with the garbage narratives about how people don't want to see movies about and starring women.
Seth MacFarlane's Western comedy "A Million Ways to Die in the West" was out-gunned by "Maleficent." It opened in third place with a tepid $17.1 million.
Last weekend's top film, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" dropped to second with $32.6 million.
