Murder Mystery, which also stars Jennifer Aniston, is the latest project in Sandler’s multi-movie deal with Netflix. It’s also further proof that the 52-year-old actor is, against all odds, supremely popular on the streaming platform. Since he partnered up with Netflix, at least half a billion hours of Sandler films have been watched by customers.
Sandler recently hosted Saturday Night Live for the very first time. His appearance on the sketch show included a tribute to friend and former cast mate Chris Farley.
