Happy Gilmore 2, released on Netflix on July 25, 2025, was produced with a budget of around $30 million, which is a significant increase from the original film's $12 million budget. The movie did not have a traditional box office release as it debuted on Netflix, but it was very successful as a streaming release. The film broke streaming records with 2.9 billion minutes viewed in its opening week and garnered 46.7 million views over its opening weekend, making it the biggest U.S. opening weekend for a Netflix original movie. As of August 17, 2025, it had reached a total of 109.2 million views globally on Netflix. Though it did not earn box office revenue in the traditional sense, the movie's extensive reach and streaming success translate into significant value for Netflix and the production, with a strong viewership and cultural impact. Reports also suggest the movie generated over $150 million in local economic activity in New Jersey where it was filmed. In short, Happy Gilmore 2 made about $30 million in production budget and achieved massive streaming success on Netflix, with a viewership indicative of substantial revenue generation through the platform, rather than box office earnings.
