The Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore comedy Blended
marked the first time the two stars have teamed for a movie in a
decade. Given this weekend's reception at the box office, they may wait
another 10 years for the next one.
Blended
has managed to take in just $14 million over the first three days of
the Memorial Day weekend, and will likely top out at $18 million for the
four days. It's not a financial disaster for distributor Warner Bros.
or Sandler's Happy Madison Productions, since Blended cost roughly $45 million to produce. But it's among the worst openings ever for Sandler.
It's a little over the $13.4 million That's My Boy managed in 2012, but way under the $25 million that Jack and Jill debuted to in 2011. Blended
didn't match Sandler and Barrymore's previous collaborations, either.
It couldn't take in half of the $39.8 million that 2004's 50 First Dates opened with, and it was even behind The Wedding Singer, which opened to $18 million in 1998 — and that's not accounting for inflation.
