By the time Adam Sandler’s 2015 comedy Pixels arrived to widespread critical scorn, it was clear that the career of the once-reigning king of theatrical comedy had seen better days.
Thankfully, by the time Pixels hit theaters, Sandler had already signed what turned out to be an incredibly lucrative deal with Netflix, for both sides.
I love how passionate they are about making movies and getting them out there for the whole world to see.
Under the deal, Sandler’s Happy Madison productions would produce four original feature films for the service, all starring Sandler and some mix of his usual comedy pals.
