Netflix has set a whopping, new record, and it's all thanks to Adam Sandler. According to the company's latest report, its subscribers have watched half a billion hours of the actors' films.

When did that happen?

It began when the comedian entered into a partnership with the streaming service in 2015 with the release of “The Ridiculous 6,” one part of an exclusive four-movie deal he signed.

But Sandler doesn’t just have a few Netflix originals on the site, he also has some throwbacks including “The Waterboy,” “Anger Management,” “Big Daddy,” “The Cobbler” and “Hotel Transylvania 2.” And apparently, the platform’s 98 million members can’t get enough.

Netflix can’t either, because it said, “We continue to be excited by our Sandler relationship and our members continue to be thrilled with his films.”
