“It’s also enjoyed a spot at #1 in every territory we operate in, and in many of them it’s still #1,” Sarandos said.
Sandler found himself in some hot water during the movie’s production when Native American extras walked off the set, accusing the movie of racism and citing stereotypical dialogue like “I put my pee-pee in your teepee,” or names like “Beaver’s Breath” and “No Bra.”
One movie down, three more to go.
