Adam Sandler movies stay turning a profit so why would they stop making them?

True. They're fukking abysmal though. I didn't grow up in North America so I always felt like they weren't meant for me, but I think we can all agree it will be a cold day in hell before any of his movies get any sort of critical acclaim.

"In order to be the top studio, Sony needs to not release dark movies (i.e. Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) around the holiday season. No one wants to see a film like Girl (which is a great film by the way) around the holiday season."

im still mad about this..had it come out a month or 2 later we would have sequels :birdman:

i completely agree with this guy on everything

This, that horrible movie 'Jack & Jill' made $149,673,788 and Grown ups 2 made $247 million. None of the movies have a budget higher than 100 million but they all make a profit. Say whatever you want about Sandler but you can't deny he's winning right now.

And it seems the mails shytting on Sandler accomplished something considering that Sandler recently announced his 'big' deal with Netflix.

The OG Dragon Tattoo is great. The sequels are terrible stories, but as movies they might be even more terribly directed. One of them (I think the second one) has the most obnoxiously noticeable extras ever.

Most of this could've been copy/pasted from my circa 2006 IMDB comments.

Maybe Sony should take the focus off the younger generation considering they are the only ones that go to dumb ass Adam Sandler movies, all the olds that have been hating his garbage, money-grab movies since the late 90s.

Adam Sandler is damn near keep them afloat. Dude gives you at minimum a 150 percent return on your investment. Are his movies rote and formuliaic, yes, but thats why people go to see them. Like it or not being different or thought provoking doesn't fly in movies, in general.
