Sandler the happy merchant

I know, stupid. They also cost way more to make than any movies of that caliber should. Sandler pockets most of the budget then cranks out a shitty comedy while he's taking his family and friends on a paid holiday. He takes the studios for a ride and gets away with it because there's enough dummies out there who laugh at queef jokes to make his flicks profitable and keep the ball rolling. It's a pfg business model.
Also I feel like there haven’t been that many live action kids movies in the last 20 years (especially not comedies) so he was able to thrive with shit like grown ups/jack and jill that were made specifically for families with kids

Yeah that whole circle is actually really decent. Bill Murray is a prick though. Will Ferrell is a cunt too.
Yeah, I’ve heard about Murray but not about Ferrell. I’d probably be a cunt if I were famous too. I couldn’t imagine having to stop and take pictures with random people. Fuck off with your fucking iPhone, I’m walking here.

Sandlers whole circle seems to be content with their position and don’t feel the need to try to be something they’re not. They’re probably the happiest group in Hollywood.

No way this is just domestic right?


It is, but only Pixels and Grown Ups 2 profited overseas. Jack and Jill was such a massive flop that it had to spend a record 59 weeks at the foreign box office where it made $75,515,631, just inching over the domestic. Consider that the advertising costs are equal to the budget, especially for international releases. It was rumored they left it in theaters until they recouped their advertising budget of $75 million. It still lost $5 million domestically.

His biggest hits always made over $100 million in the US in the 2000's. He couldn't even make back the budgets in the next decade.

That being said, he bombed more often this decade, and bigger. What's weird is that the foreign markets later picked up in the 2010's.

Here's the international totals.

Little Nicky (2000)
Budget: $85,000,000
Gross: $58.3 million

Punch Drunk Love (2002)
Budget: $24,000,000
Gross: $24,675,714

Eight Crazy Nights (2002)
Budget: $34,000,000
Gross: $23,833,131

Spanglish (2004)
Budget: $80,000,000
Gross: $55,470,154

Reign Over Me (9/11/2007)
Budget: $20,000,000
Gross: $22,242,388

Funny People (2009)
