Seth Rogen is going to need Sausage Party to be a big hit. Because this dope smoking stoner, one note shtick is over.

Who knows, maybe he'll become another Sandler, and make different kinds of movies, he did Steve Jobs, he's doing this animated film, that everyone talks about the script and there's lots of prominent people in it, so maybe that'll be a rebound for him.

Maybe that'll be the next phase. I hope so, because this phase is dead fish funny. I mean, who looks forward to yet another one of these inane, one joke stoner flicks?

Stoners. Who else?

When you're a young adult comedy, and the USERS on Rotten tomatoes say that only 70 percent liked your film, you know it most likely is either A: off the beaten path, different, forcing the audience to have to think in some way so they don't like it, or B: It sucks. Guess which one this is?

Spot on! {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 22, 10:26

Moviegoers didn't want to see Sandler in different kinds of movies. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 10:41

Until they did and that's why now he's doing Netflix instead of 45 OW {nm} alfjox Nov 22, 10:45

Sandler's worth over 350 million. I'm sure he's still getting a pretty penny from netflix. {nm} Dorf Nov 22, 11:09

Ridiculous Six was a 60 million budget film so yes they are paying him close to his full rate {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 12:13

Dear lord. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 22, 13:42

Or maybe people are also still angry how the supported him in the The Interview then he turned around and insulted American Sniper audience. Baron_Darcon Nov 22, 16:07

I doubt that his audience and the AS audience overlap significantly, if at all. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 22, 16:45

Got an A- Cinemascore (better than most of his more popular movies), clearly people who watch these kinds of movies liked it... benz0 Nov 22, 11:24

Opened lower than almost all of his other movies, but I think it'll hold fairly well into the holidays. {nm} benz0 Nov 22, 11:28

At some point, studios aren't going to want to do more movies that have a limited audience. I think the guy is funny leo21 Nov 22, 15:40

he is funny but in a very limited way. by choice it seems {nm} tradermark Nov 22, 23:26

I'm with you, especially given the limited appeal overseas, granted most of his movies are pretty low budget and profitable {nm} benz0 Nov 23, 09:32

The 70% audience on RT is similar to This is the End 71% Pineapple Express 73% and actually better than Neighbors 63%. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 11:32

Neighbors. LOL. That was funny like cancer. That flick stunk on hot ice. {nm} goodvibe61 Nov 22, 11:54

And yet it made $150M more than This is the End and Pineapple Express. Not sure your point or argument. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 12:03

And it made another $120M overseas for a $270M worldwide gross on a $18M budget. {nm} ~JPV~ Nov 22, 12:05

Just goes to show how far a well-cut trailer will get you. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 22, 12:21

I'm not sure either. I'm bored. I guess, thinking about it for a second, I'd say that his stoner comedies are lousy comedies, but goodvibe61 Nov 22, 17:44

Just because you think it's crap doesn't mean other people do. If that were true no horror movies would get made (apologies to horror fans) {nm} JDolphin Nov 22, 12:30

I think Rogen is far more likable than Sandler. A $10M opening isn't a failure. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Nov 22, 13:31

Happyt days. {nm} goodvibe61 Nov 22, 17:23
