The sequel’s release boosted interest in the original “Happy Gilmore,” which is also available on Netflix. The decades-old comedy ranked at No. 3 on the global top 10 list with 11.4 million views, marking its second consecutive week on the list.

Philip Fine Schneider (no, he's not related to Sandler pal Rob Schneider) makes his onscreen debut in Happy Gilmore 2 as Bobby Gilmore, the third son of Happy and Virginia. Before landing the role, Schneider was playing none other than Hamlet in a 2023 college production of the Shakespeare tragedy at Yale University.
