Adam Sandler’s ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Debuts to 46.7 Million Views, Biggest Netflix U.S. Film Opening Ever
I had a head cannon version of "Happy Gilmore 2" where Happy has a daughter who he trains to be a golfer from a young age, but she wants to play hockey as an enforcer. I'm just gonna pretend this is what the story was actually about.
That sounds like my headcanon sequel to Sneakers where Bishop (Robert Redford) uses his newfound anonymity to start over in a small town where he accidentally ends up the high school basketball coach to a bunch of skinny nerds. They make it to the state championships through a combination of phone phreaking and social engineering.
I would watch that.
But how many of those people watched the whole film? 😆
i don't trust any of these self-reported view counts
I did, and it was kinda crap.
I did and I’m pretty against these legacy sequels. They never seem to do a good job and they are obvious cash grabs but Happy Gilmore 2 was a fun watch.
This seems like a film you put on while doing chores, talking on your phone, working, having it on when your neighbor is over or just wanting to fall sleep.
I mean, that's literally what Netflix is going for. They don't want engaging content, they want stuff that's "second-screenable" i.e. to have on in the background while you're on your phone/laptop.
Watched it the other day and thought it was a lot of fun. He got a ton of cameos in there and you can tell they had fun filming it.
Yeah, imagine that, being so rich that you can do dumb shit with your friends (who are all celebrities) and that dumb shit somehow prints even more money being fun.
Gee, I wonder if I could have fun doing that? Never having to worry about things like finances and doing every stupid thought that ever came to me without real consequence?
I mean, like, no shit they had fun.
I get it. I’ll always hop on the “fuck the rich” train because fuck the rich, but I also need a laugh and a win somewhere before I fucking smash everything in a 12-foot radius with a baseball bat.
I also watched it on Stremio because fuck streaming companies.
I don’t know you but based on this one comment it seems like you’re not fun.
Mmmm member berries
Sandler is back! Surprised this was so popular.
The OG Happy Gilmore is fun (rewatched it a few years ago), but I can't imagine watching a sequel (and I am not going to watch it).
Good for Sandler though!
He really needed a win after being exceedingly rich and famous for 30 years
Your loss, I guess
Surprised this was so popular.
Nostalgia prints, especially at the box office.
Shame, because Sandler's best work tends to be original. Would have loved to get something on the quality of Uncut Gems again, but I guess retreads like this pay the bills.
Watched the first one multiple times with my cousin as kids. Apparently it made such an impression on him, this sequel made him reach out to me after not speaking for 20+ years.
I havent finished it yet because it got late but I was surprised, I thought it would be a train wreck and its good so far.
This stat is literally worthless
