A lot can be, and has been, said, about Adam Sandler’s career over the years. Sandler himself has joked about the bad reviews his films often get, which is to say bad. But it can’t be argued that there are a lot of people that like Adam Sandler’s movies because they clearly watch them. In fact, they apparently watch them more than just about anything else on Netflix, as Murder Mystery 2 had the second-best opening for a comedy in the history of the streaming service.
Murder Mystery 2 only dropped a few days ago but Netflix has revealed that the film’s opening weekend saw over 42 million views. According to Variety, this makes it the number two comedy film for Netflix based on opening weekend numbers. The film is also, obviously, the number one movie on the platform overall right now, and the release of the sequel was also enough to help propel the first Murder Mystery into the number two overall spot. It seems that a lot of people either hadn't seen the first one or wanted to rewatch it before the sequel.
