FWIW, Drive Angry has easily the lowest opening weekend of any Nicolas 
Cage movie that opened in over 2000 theatres.  And if you count anything 
with over 1000 theatres as a "wide" release, then even then, the only 
"wide" releases of his prolific career that have opened smaller are The 
Weather Man (2005, $4.2 million in 1510 theatres), Trapped in Paradise 
(1994, $2.7 million in 1286 theatres) and Amos & Andrew (1993, $3.6 
million in 1233 theatres).  (There is also Leaving Las Vegas, which opened 
in limited release and then went "wide" 3.5 months later, earning $3.3 
million in 1310 theatres in its first "wide" weekend.  But by that point, 
it had already earned about $12 million in limited release.)
