Adam Sandler?s debut film for Netflix, the western-themed comedy The Ridiculous 6, has debuted to the highest-ever opening viewing figures in the streaming service?s history.
Doubts were expressed over Netflix?s four-film deal with the comic in July after Sandler?s latest cinema release, the sci-fi comedy Pixels, bombed at the box office.
But the service?s chief content officer Ted Sarandos revealed the first fruits of the deal had proven sweet on Wednesday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
He told reporters,
?The Ridiculous 6, by way of example, in the first 30 days on Netflix it?s been the most-watched movie in the history of Netflix. It?s also enjoyed a spot at No 1 in every territory we operate in, and in many of them it?s still No 1.?
