To date, Barrymore's intuition has yielded USD 319.8 million in worldwide box-office grosses, a figure that will escalate this weekend when Blended, the duo's third feature together, hits theatres.

But a lot has changed since Barrymore first recruited Sandler as her signature co-star; she's a director and a mother of two now.

On being asked whether Blended was planned to come out exacty 10 years after 50 First Dates (their second feature film together), the 39-year-old says, "I tend to be the one to nudge Adam.

We have to work together, we have to find something. I've been saying that you and I are cinematic soul mates," says Barrymore.
