The opening of the box office at Naked Gun indicates its mission to save the comedy away from the end

Perhaps the theatrical comedy is the type that fought more at the box office as the film industry sought to recover in the aftermath of the era of securing the Covid-19. Nevertheless, Paramount Pictures decided to give her the Ol ‘College experience with “The Naked Gun”, which struck theaters at the end of last week. Fortunately, the movie started a decent beginning, but it can still cut off its way before we can announce it with great success.

“Akiva Schaffer,” The Naked Gun “was directed to $ 17 million locally, as it ranked third on the graphs. Although it decreased sharply, “The Marvel First First: First Steps” remained first with $ 40 millionWith the “The Blad Guys 2” moving supplement in second place with $ 22.2 million. This is to say, it was a crowd weekend. Whether that is the case, Paramount’s revival of its single popular comedian has not been buried. To this end, the film also recorded $ 11.5 million abroad for a global start of $ 28.5 million.

Against the budget that is said to be within $ 40 million, this is good enough at the present time. “The Naked Gun” came in a touch less than the pre -version expectationsBut tracking has become increasingly reliable in recent years, as the theatrical market has become fluctuating and unpredictable. More importantly, the theatrical ROM -coms theatrical performance like “Anyone but you” ($ 220 million), a ticket to heaven “($ 168 million) and” The Lost City “($ 192 million) has been a good performance since 2020.

“Strays” ($ 36 million worldwide) and “Joy Ride” ($ 15 million worldwide) are two recent examples of comedy that stumbled in theaters (even with great reviews, in the case of the latter). And since this is the case, linking what might be the “naked gun” is able to do it was always difficult. Also, not for nothing, but “Happy Gilmore 2” became a monster on Netflix, which provided some real competition for the eyes fried in the comedy space.

All the things that were taken into account, this is an encouraging start to revive the “abstract gun”. The film’s stars, Liam Neeson (“Take”) in the role of Frank Darbin Junior, who follows the footsteps of his father (Frank Darbin from Leslie Nielsen) headed by the police squad. Pamela Anderson (“The Last Showgirl”), Paul Walter Hauser (“CROL” star.

Schaffer’s Reboot/Legacy Sequel, produced by the creative “Family Guy” Seth MacFarlane, has been met with very good reviews. It currently holds 90 % on spoiled tomatoes, and features a cinema of the masses. This indicates that the word mouth can be strong. At /9 out of 10 reviews of “The Naked Gun,” Ethan Underon even called “the funniest movie of the year”.

This is good because Paramount needs to accommodate for several weeks in order to justify the budget. At the present time, it does not play unlike “no difficult feelings” for 2023 starring Jennifer Lawrence, which achieved $ 87 million worldwide after the opening of $ 15 million. The fact that the “naked gun” opened slightly above this fan. If he can ride a similar path and reach nearly $ 100 million worldwide when everything is said and do, the studio is likely to call this victory.

This is the next weekend, you see Warner Bruce The horror movie “Freakier Friday” is up to the box office. Moreover, the August version calendar is relatively free of large films, with “The Conjuring: Last Rites” as the next real paragraph when it arrives in early September. This can help give this comedy the satirical simulation that it needs to help save the theater comedy as we know it. It is too early to call and we will know a lot next Monday. Currently, though, so far, very good.

“The Naked Gun” is currently playing in theaters.
