All this talk of films just reminds me of what a freaking genius adam sandler was. He went through a period of time where he and his buddies would go somewhere and party, toss together a film, and get a paycheck and he always made a profit because the films were so cheap to produce. He didnt waste time with avenger level nonsense where you need to break a billion at the box office just to break even. He could make 20 mill world wide at the bargain bin at walmart and still double his budget or more. No matter how much the movie sucked, it still usually turned a profit. Jack and Jill was probably the most critically panned film he made and it cost him just under 80 million to make and brought back 149 million at the world wide box office. Waterboy made back NINE TIMES its budget in box office revenue alone.
