Seth Rogen is going to need Sausage Party to be a big hit. Because this dope smoking stoner, one note shtick is over. goodvibe61 Nov 22, 10:23

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. goodvibe61 Nov 22, 17:23
