The sequel "Happy Gilmore 2," released on Netflix in July 2025, did not have a traditional box office run as it was primarily a streaming release. Instead, its success is measured by viewership numbers on Netflix. In its first three days, the film generated an impressive 46.7 million views on Netflix, marking the biggest U.S. opening weekend of all time for a Netflix film and the largest ever for an Adam Sandler movie on the platform. As for financial figures, unlike the original 1996 "Happy Gilmore," which made about $40-41 million at the box office, "Happy Gilmore 2" had a production budget of around $30 million and was released directly on Netflix. Its financial return is reflected in its streaming success and impact rather than traditional box office revenue. The economic impact of "Happy Gilmore 2" also extends beyond the film itself, generating over $150 million in local economic activity during production. To summarize, "Happy Gilmore 2" made a major success in streaming viewership with 46.7 million views in its opening weekend on Netflix and supported a $30 million production budget, but it did not have a reported theatrical box office gross like the original film, as it was released for streaming distribution.
