I come to you as a devoted fan of the original 'Happy Gilmore' - a film that brought laughter, warmth, and enjoyment to many of us. Like myself, multitudes of fans around the world share a love for this movie and eagerly anticipate its sequel. We believe 'Happy Gilmore 2' is more than deserving of a big-screen release. This isn't just about expanding our viewing options, but also celebrating a sequel to a cherished piece of our popular culture.

The original 'Happy Gilmore' managed to gross over $41 million globally, proving its widespread appeal (source: Box Office Mojo). This strong performance manifestly shows the potential of a full-fledged theatrical release for the sequel.

Evidence suggests that theatrical releases give films a wider audience reach than online platforms alone. Taking 'Irishman' as an example, despite being a Netflix production, it saw a limited theatrical release which greatly enhanced its visibility and reach (source: IndieWire).

By releasing 'Happy Gilmore 2' in theaters, we allow the magic of this cherished movie to unfold the way it was intended - on the big screen, surrounded by fellow fans sharing the experience. With Adam Sandler's unique character, we hope for laughter to again fill movie theaters worldwide.

Let's urge Netflix and Adam Sandler to respect this community of fans and release 'Happy Gilmore 2' in theaters. Do your part for fandom and the big screen. Please sign this petition today.
