With a current global haul of $86.5 million, Liam Neeson’s critically acclaimed action-comedy sequel The Naked Gun is on track to outgross The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear and become the franchise’s highest-grossing entry. However, with stiff competition from Zach Cregger’s horror hit Weapons, Marvel’s superhero film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and other recent releases, it looks unlikely that the film will cross the $100 million mark worldwide.
As The Naked Gun continues its box office run, it is now poised to surpass the global earnings of a recent action thriller starring popular action star Jason Statham. We are talking about David Ayer’s A Working Man, and here’s how close Liam Neeson’s film is to overtaking it.

Here’s the box office breakdown of both films, as per Box Office Mojo’s data:
The Naked Gun – Box Office Summary (Box Office Mojo)
- North America: $47.6 million

- Worldwide: $86.5 million
A Working Man – Box Office Summary (Box Office Mojo)

With these numbers, The Naked Gun now sits at just $1.6 million behind the Jason Statham starrer at the worldwide box office. Given its current momentum, the action-comedy is expected to close the gap very soon.
