After starring in a string of action films, including the Taken film series, Non-Stop, Run All Night, The Commuter, and Absolution, Liam Neeson took a comedic gamble with The Naked Gun, a legacy sequel to the Naked Gun trilogy. The risk paid off as the action-comedy earned praise from critics and audiences, becoming the Oscar-nominated actor’s highest-grossing movie of the past decade.
With a worldwide total of $75.9 million (via Box Office Mojo), The Naked Gun has surpassed the lifetime earnings of Materialists, The Monkey, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Black Bag, M3GAN 2.0, and Bring Her Back, among other 2025 releases. It is now inching closer to outgrossing another action-comedy starring a Stranger Things actor, the 2022 Christmas-set movie Violent Night, led by David Harbour. Read on to see how the two films compare at the box office.
