Adam Sandler fans were left heartbroken yesterday after a major update about the Happy Gilmore sequel was announced. The upcoming sequel is set to premiere in July, and comes almost three decades after the original film debuted. The second movie will see Sandler returning to the golf green as Happy Gilmore, alongside returning stars Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and Christopher McDonald and newcomers Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (aka Bad Bunny), daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler, and Blake Clark. With the first official trailer dropping yesterday, fans expressed their excitement for the film's release. But, at the same time, many have lamented that it won't be hitting theaters. Instead, Happy Gilmore 2 will be heading straight to Netflix, and will be available to stream on July 25. Taking to social media to express their disappointment, many said that they would happily pay to go and see the comedy on the big screen. Posting on X, one user said: “The new Happy Gilmore movie releasing straight to Netflix and not in theaters rattles me to my core.”
