Generally, box office has been in a precarious country for the last few years. Since the pandemic has shut down theaters around the world for months at the end of 2020, the industry has been in constant state of flux. Streaming has increased all traditional logic, and Hollywood is increasingly trying to hit a smaller goal. One of the biggest genres that has become a questionnaire in the modern era is comedy, specifically the theater variety. The question is, it can "Naked Pistol", new download of Leslie Nielsen ClassicHelp save comedies on box office?

As for this writing, director Akiva Shafer's "bare gun", which is produced by the creator of the Family Guy Seth McFarlane, looks at the debut between $ 23 and $ 32 million when he arrives at the theaters next weekend, after Box office theory. For what is worth, even at a low level, it would be more than twice as much as the overall Schaffer's favorite "Popstar: Never stop stopping", which failed to break $ 10 million globally in 2016. However, with "Take" star Liam Neyson led the A-list cast, "Paramount pictures" has more ambitions here.

The big questionnaire for a moment is just how much Paramount has spent on a restart/heritage sequel. If it cost $ 50 million or less, the domestic debut over/under $ 25 million would be a good start, especially if this had some juice abroad. To illustrate how much things have changed, the original "Naked Gun" made $ 78 million in North America in 1988. Even with a solid opening, it could be a very difficult number for this new entrance to the franchise to hit, without even calculating inflation.

Shafer "The Naked Gunn" focuses on Frank Drebin Runior (Nyson), the son of Frank Drebin (Nielsen), who follows his father's footsteps. The ranked ensemble includes Pamela Anderson ("The Last Show"), Paul Walter Hauser ("I, Tonja"), Kevin Durand ("Abigail"), Cody Rhodes ("Arow") and Dani Huston ("Crow").

What has been interesting in the last few years is that, in a way, the comedy is more important than ever for the biggest theater hits. Barbie made $ 1.4 billion and shaken records relying strongly in comedy. Many of the films "Marvel Cinematic Universe" have a strong comic component, with "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Deadpool & Wolverine" in mind. Animated, family films that constantly destroy financially tend to rely on humor as a key component.

The problem is that everything that is charged as a comedy first, instead of something else with a component of comedy, fought hard. Roma-Koms managed to find success here and there, with "Everyone except you" becomes the first in the genre to earn $ 200 million Or more than the "crazy rich Asians" ($ 239 million) in 2018. Other examples in the last few years include a ticket to Paradise "($ 168 million) and the" lost city "($ 192 million).

But when we first look at projects that are sold as a comedy? Sticki ($ 36 million worldwide), "joy driving" ($ 15 million worldwide), and many others failed to break through. Even working like Billy Eichner's "Bros. ($ 15 million in the world) has failed to break through. That's why it was a pleasant surprise when Sony's "one of them" made nearly $ 52 million earlier this year. But even that was something qualified for a lack of competition and a small budget of $ 14 million. Make sure the "naked gun" cost more than $ 14 million.

It may be said that "happy Gilmore 2" goes to NetflixWhere Adam Sandler lived in the last decade. What Sandler movies end in theaters these days? More serious things like "insincere gems". His comedies had to rely on streaming to exist. It is not an isolated case.

The success of the contemporary theater market is largely about turning films into events. That's why universal Started selling tickets for Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey" a year earlier. So, a bigger question is, can a comedy become a Chinese event that is worth leaving the house in 2025 because of the comedy?

In this way, the "naked gun" is burdened somewhere unjustly with high expectations. If this does not work, it can reduce the likelihood that Paramount and other study continue to invest a lot in theater comedies. Shafer, McFarlin and everyone involved just wanted to make a good, funny movie that was supposed to enjoy cinemas. They did not intend to overcome so much weight. McFarlin made Ted, making nearly $ 550 million worldwide in 2012. It's irreversible now, but if only a little of that magic can be erased on this ...

Part of the problem is that the film opens against "Bad Guys 2", animated, family friendly/comedy. Also opposes against Marvel "Fantastic Four: First Steps" on its second weekendWith Disney's "Freakier Friday" and Director Zack Kreger's "weapons" on the next weekend. "Freakier Friday" is a perfect example of the type of comedy that can work on today's market. Will it eat in the audience of this film? Quite likely.

The relatively good news is that August's leaf is not full of giant blockbusters. If this film can get critics in turn and earn a good word from the mouth of Moviegoers, it has a recording. The naked gun franchise does not mean anything from the younger generation, but if it is funny enough, it can function as something supposedly original that General Z is locked up and at the same time aging, nostalgic audiences appear. That's the hope, however. SeeEe see where the chips are falling.

The naked gun hit theaters on 1 August 2025.
