On: Netflix’s bad habits have caught up with it

> 3 Adam Sandler movies for half a billion dollars?

Kind of a weird example when the adam sandler movie (uncut gems) was probably one of the few critical succeses of their recent original content.

Different things. Netflix paid Sandler $250 million in 2014 for six Sandler originals under their studio, and renewed the deal in 2017 and 2020.

Separately, Netflix just purchased streaming rights for Uncut Gems, which Sandler didn't write, from A24.

I'm assuming it's the Sandler originals that OP is referring to.

uncut gems is not a netflix movie. It's A24.
