**Hollywood, CA – October 5, 2025** – Studio comedies are back with a bang! Paramount Pictures’ “The Naked Gun,” a legacy sequel directed by Akiva Schaffer, is proving that audiences are hungry for hilarious, over-the-top humor. The film, starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr., has conquered both the box office and now, streaming charts.

Released theatrically earlier this year, “The Naked Gun” raked in over $100 million globally and garnered rave reviews for its relentless barrage of gags. /Film’s Ethan Anderton called it “arguably the funniest movie of 2025 so far,” praising its wall-to-wall jokes and Neeson’s inspired performance.

Neeson doesn’t simply mimic Leslie Nielsen’s iconic portrayal; instead, he leans into his own action star persona, creating a fresh and hilarious take on the bumbling detective. Pamela Anderson shines as the seductive Beth Davenport, while Danny Huston delivers a memorable performance as the villainous CEO with a penchant for early Black Eyed Peas.

The film’s success doesn’t stop at the box office. Since its release on Paramount+ on September 30th, “The Naked Gun” has shot to the #1 spot as the most popular movie on the platform, according to FlixPatrol. The positive word-of-mouth from its theatrical run appears to be fueling its streaming success.

For those unfamiliar with the original films, “The Naked Gun” offers a perfect entry point into the world of absurd comedy. And for longtime fans, Paramount+ is also streaming the original “Naked Gun” trilogy, ensuring a night of non-stop laughter. This success suggests that the studio comedy is not dead, just evolving, and audiences are ready to embrace the genre’s return to form.
