The Naked Gun, starring Liam Neeson, was released in theaters on Friday. The movie received rave reviews from the film press after its world premiere ahead of the theatrical release.

On the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, Liam Neeson\u2019s movie has been certified fresh by the critics, giving it an excellent 90% rating. The critics\u2019 consensus read, \u201cWith Liam Neeson\u2019s gravelly gravitas proving to be a perfect fit for Frank Drebin\u2019s deadpan buffoonery, The Naked Gun revives the original trilogy\u2019s daffy sense of humor like it never went out of style.\u201d The audience also enjoys it, giving it 81% on the site\u2019s Popcornmeter.<\/p>\n

The Naked Gun\u2019s box office collection from the Previews in North America<\/p>\n

According to an industry insider\u2019s report, Neeson\u2019s film, The Naked Gun reboot of the The Naked Gun film franchise, collected a solid $1.6 million from the Thursday previews. This exceeds A Working Man\u2019s $1.1 million and Violent Night\u2019s $1.1 million preview collection. This sets the stage perfectly for a strong opening weekend. However, it will not debut at #1 in the domestic box office chart, which is booked for Marvel\u2019s The Fantastic Four: First Steps.<\/p>\n

Projected opening weekend of the film<\/p>\n

Initially, the film was projected to earn between $15-$17 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend. But now it is expected to open between $16 million and $20 million on its three-day opening weekend, thus shattering the initial projections. The comedy flick is projected to earn $6 million on its release day. This will record the biggest opening for Liam Neeson<\/a> as a leading man in a live-action film since Taken 3.<\/p>\n
