At the Television Critics Association Press Tour this morning, Netflix chief Ted Sarandos was asked how he felt about his company's exclusive four picture deal with Adam Sandler now in light of Pixel's recent underperformance at the box office. Sarandoes responded, "Thrilled. Not to give you a defensive answer here, but I definitely don't have to defend Adam Sandler. Pixels did $24 million domestic opening; did $25 million international. A third of our subscribers are outside of the U.S., and we did our deal with Adam Sandler because he's an enormous international global movie star." The first of the four Netflix/ Adam Sandler movies, The Ridiculous Six, will debut on December 11th in all Netflix territories.
