The company has inked a new four-film deal with Sandler to create original projects for its streaming service. Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions will produce each film, which will premiere exclusively on the streaming service.

"Adam Sandler one of the leading comedians in the film world, and his movies have proven to be extremely successful with our subscribers around the world,” said Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief content officer. “We are thrilled at the opportunity to extend our partnership with Adam and his entire team at Happy Madison and keep the world laughing.”

The one with Spade wasn't too bad. :-\

 

[SwiftDeath]

Sandler's travel agent is going to get a bonus it seems

 

[torre_avenue]

So, we now have 6 more to look forward to instead of just 2 more.

Great. God is dead.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

They are giving everybody deals now.

I'm really glad I cancelled my subscription.

Cheap and it gets views... Netflix also backed Scorcese's new flick. They are covering all the demographics.

Figured as much but I didn't want to believe

 

[Paltheos]

Allot of people are going to post 'Why?' but as I recall Adam Sandler movies surprisingly have high-view counts on Netflix. Wish I remember the topic where this came up though - Surprised allot of people.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Crappy Sandler movies. Day 1.

 

[Matticers]

If they want me to actually care, make one of the movies a Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore sequel. Yeah, it'll suck compared to the originals, but I'll still watch the hell out of it just because.

 

[KidGalactus]

He must have shit on everyone, there is no other explanation.

Remember when Ridiculous Six was like the most watched thing in the history of Netflix. They are apparently more interested in results than in quality... Or at least AS interested.

That sounds about right. His recent output isn't really something people need to see in theaters. They're Friday night rentals for people that like his stuff. So Netflix is a good lane for him.

I'll just ignore the trailers when they try to play them after I've watched something, it'll be fine.

 

[GK86]

I mean, the OP says his movies are successful among the subscribers.

 

[Diprosalic]

I did watch Happy Gilmore on netflix a while back though, i feel i'm to blame for this.

 

[MercuryLS3]

So, we now have 6 more to look forward to instead of just 2 more.

Great. God is dead.

God's not dead and should be getting another sequel next year. Only on Netflix.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Honestly, whatever that spy one was with Spade wasn't that bad. I mean compared to Ridiculous 6 and Pixel and any of the other just straight crap he's been making lately.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

New title: Netflix gives Adam Sandler four new all paid vacations!

 

[phazedplasma]

If it helps make netflix money Im cool with it

 

[StopMakingSense]

Some of Netflix's most popular movies.

They would finance 10 Paul Blart movies if they could manage it.

 

[Diprosalic]

Remember when Ridiculous Six was like the most watched thing in the history of Netflix. They are apparently more interested in results than in quality... Or at least AS interested.

Of course they are saying that otherwise he would release the damaging stuff he has on them.

 

[Frozenprince]

At the rate he's going I expect the last one to just be him flipping the camera off for 1 1/2 hours.

Cheap and it gets views... Netflix also backed Scorcese's new flick. They are covering all the demographics.

Well if I am curious about Sandler films, I do take a look at them in Netflix.. But that's because I wouldn't pay to see them in theaters lol

Spoiler

But... just go with it and 50 first Dates got me to go to the movie theater to see them

 

[TrumanBurbank]

I'm really glad I cancelled my subscription.

They make so many amazing shows and movies. You fucked up

 

[sirap]

Everyone's acting like Netflix is some paragon of quality. We just had Iron Fist a week ago lol.

 

[Despera]

dude expired a long time ago

netflix fucked up big time

 

[Pastry]

Are people honestly asking why?

Y'all think that's Netflix doesn't analyze their original content and make decisions based off of data instead of hur dur Adam Sandler movies suck?

 

[WickedLaharl]

He must have shit on everyone, there is no other explanation.

Or it's more likely that despite how much some people dislike Sandler his movies on Netflix get a shit load of views

 

[Alebrije]

4 movies of this :

 

[slit]

Who finds these entertaining? Trump voters?

 

[Rocketz]

Well do what you want Netflix.

I'm going to continue not to watch them.

 

[Anung]

With the amount of globe hopping he does Adam Sandler would be a shoe in for Nathan Drake...except not charming or funny.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

The Do Over wasn't as much of a trainwreck as I expected (which wasn't much - I haven't liked an Adam Sandler movie since Happy Gilmore).

I can see why that would've been a net positive for Netflix. It's hard to doubt them at this point. They navigated the transition from DVDs to streaming really well, despite naysayers and they've also adapted really well to producing their own content in the face of major studios pulling out of their service.

 

[GCQuinton]

The Do-Over was okay. *shrugs*

 

[SliceSabre]

"Adam Sandler one of the leading comedians in the film world"

Funniest thing related to Adam Sandler I've heard in years.

 

[Kalor]

They seem to do well for Netflix so it makes sense that they would extend the deal.

 

[LakeEarth]

The one with Spade wasn't too bad. :-\

I was gonna say the same thing. I didn't like how it ended, but there seemed to be some effort done on that one.

 

[NH Apache]

Happy Gilmore 2? Hmmm the possibilities

 

[SomTervo]

Fuck me

 

[blame space]

no one is forcing you to watch them
