Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu and Danny Huston also star. The fourth film in the long-dormant franchise, directed by Akiva Schaffer from a script he wrote with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, opens 31 years after the last movie, 1994’s Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, graced the big screen.

The Naked Gun lands Liam Neeson his biggest opening weekend at the global box office since Taken 3, over a decade ago.

Elsewhere at the box office, “Superman” descended to fourth place with $13 million in its fourth weekend of release. The Warner Bros. and DC Studios adaptation has generated $316 million domestically and more than $502.7 million globally to date.
