It’s also the best box office performance for a Nicolas Cage-starring film since 2009’s projections. With an additional $11 million this week, the feature is now at $44 million.

Another surprise pops up in this top 10 at the US box office: Bad news. This movie which earned 1 million dollars comes to us from Bollywood.
