#TheNakedGun has been held up as a bellwether for the viability of studio comedies in the post-pandemic era, and this past weekend, the comedy reboot proved its staying power. The feature, directed by Akiva Schaffer and starring #LiamNeeson, dropped just 50 percent in its sophomore outing, bringing its domestic total to $33 million, and its global haul to $56.4 million.⁠
⁠
Producers Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins hope 'The Naked Gun' is the first of a new wave of comedies that will find theatrical audiences. "People want a little more variety on their plate," says MacFarlane in explaining why comedy is a viable theatrical genre despite Hollywood's fears of its demise.⁠
⁠
Outside of Naked Gun, MacFarlane and Huggins-headed Fuzzy Door has a varied slate that runs the gamut from a Peacock series based on the late ’80s horror-comedy 'The Burbs' to a doc on Carl Sagan to MacFarlane's Frank Sinatra tribute album 'Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements.’
⁠
MacFarlane and Huggins talk to THR about the “double-edged sword” of testing comedies, what lessons Hollywood should take from Naked Gun’s performance, and sequel plans, at the link in bio.
