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

Neeson's turn as Frank Drebin Jr. in Paramount's reboot of The Naked Gun has reignited interest in slapstick comedies and brought new life to a classic franchise. The film's strong box office performance and overwhelmingly positive critical reception prompted speculation about possible sequels.

When an actor hits their 70s, there are some stars that would have one eye on retirement and taking it easy after decades in the industry. However, after 20 years of making action movies look good, Neeson could now be coming full circle and returning to comedy in a big way.
