Cancel your weekend plans: Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, one of our favourite Hollywood duos, have reunited for a new Netflix comedy Murder Mystery. The new film, which premiered this month, has already had a record-breaking opening weekend. 

Murder Mystery revolves around NYC detective (Sandler) and his wife (Aniston) who finally embark on their long-promised European trip. Aniston meets a wealthy man who invites the lovely couple aboard his yacht for a family gathering, but things go south when someone dies and the couple become the prime suspects in the murder.

On Tuesday, Netflix revealed the film had been viewed by nearly 31 million households in its first three days, making history for the biggest opening weekend Netflix has seen to date. The film was viewed by 13,374,914 accounts in the US and Canada, and 17,494,949 worldwide, the streaming giant revealed in a tweet.
