Will probably turn a profit though

The movie we all can’t stop shitting on, Pixels, debuted at the number-two spot at the box office last weekend with $23 million in North America losing to Ant-Man‘s $24.7 million haul.

Pixels reportedly cost $88 million to make, meaning it is about $65 million short of breaking even. That being said, the film additionally brought in $25 million internationally, where Sandler’s films tend to make the most money these days.

Pixelsmade the most internationally in Mexico, earning $3.7 million, which is strangely where I saw it being streaming from on smartphone streaming service Periscope this weekend.
