One of the best premieres in Netflix's history

According to official data, "Happy Gilmore 2" reached 46.7 million views in just 72 hours. It only trailed behind "Back in Action," which achieved 46.8 million at its January launch.

However, the impact of Adam Sandler's return seems to have a longer trajectory. The first installment also re-entered Netflix's weekly top, marking a renewed interest in the saga.

29 years later, the sequel delivers on its promise

The wait was worth it. Nearly three decades have passed since the original premiere and fans replied enthusiastically. Many celebrated the continuity of the character's tone and essence.
