Before "Click"s theatrical run, Strowbridge predicted, on the basis of a weak critical reception and the commercial failure of a similar dramedy attempt of Sandler's, "Spanglish", "Click" would be one of his lesser hits; however, he suggested it could still gross up to $125 million due to its mixture of comedy and drama elements. The weekend before the film's release, Nikki Finke projected an opening weekend gross of $40 million due to similarly-high numbers of prior Sony-produced Sandler comedies such as "50 First Dates" (2004), "Mr. Deeds" (2002), and "Anger Management" (2003). The day before the film's theatrical start, "Entertainment Weekly"s Joshua Rich projected "Click" to have a $55 million opening weekend and a total overall gross of $210 million for its "broadly appealing" high concept and the inclusion of Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale in lead roles.
