Following its theatrical release on August 1, 2025, Liam Neeson’s action-comedy The Naked Gun turned out to be a pleasant surprise for fans, earning rave reviews from both critics and moviegoers alike. The film currently holds an 88% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes (Source: RT) and a solid 7/10 IMDb (Source: IMDb) user rating, while grossing $76.6 million worldwide at the box office.
Despite competition from Zach Cregger’s Weapons and Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, The Naked Gun has managed to surpass the lifetime earnings of several notable titles, including Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story (2021), Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown (1997), Liam Neeson’s action thriller Run All Night (2015), and Danny Boyle’s cult classic Trainspotting (1999).
