The Naked Gun did $17 million this weekend, which Deadline put a very positive spin on (to the point where it almost feels sponsored) — claiming that’s excellent for a straight-up comedy, existing IP that appeals to an older audience, and a movie starring older actors — but which surely will be a little bit of a bummer given how huge the promotional push was. If it can hang on next weekend against Freakier Friday and Weapons, then maybe it’ll look rosier? But I was a bit surprised to see that number so low; then again, I don’t deal with box-office projections for a living. I will say that my teens did not care if the stars were older, and had a blast seeing it on Friday night. I think I’m going tonight.
Anyway, we’ll see if Pamela’s promotional services are still required. Here’s the last of what she gave us before the weekend. May she and Liam Neeson enjoy a sexy break.
