With a worldwide tally of $96.1 million (per Box Office Mojo), Liam Neeson’s action-comedy sequel The Naked Gun currently ranks among the top 30 highest-grossing movies of 2025. The film, made on a reported budget of $42 million, is yet to surpass its break-even point of $105 million, based on the 2.5x multiplier rule. Moreover, since the film is now available on digital platforms, it remains to be seen whether it can surpass the $100 million milestone at the global box office.
Despite this, The Naked Gun has recently outperformed several notable releases, including Train to Busan (2016), Southpaw (2015), Materialists (2025), A Working Man (2025), and Talk to Me (2023). Another well-known movie it has outperformed is Ron Howard’s Formula One racing drama Rush (2013), starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl, which earned $93.3 million at the worldwide box office.
Currently, the action-comedy sequel is also closing in on the lifetime earnings of the original 1987 Predator movie. Let’s compare the box office performance of the two films.
