Our point of view on the milestone of the naked pistol box office
A potential obstacle for The naked pistol is the fact that It is delivered with a relatively considerable budget of $ 42 million. Although its profitability threshold is unknown, the films must often go back their budgets twice and a half times in order to make a profit in theaters, which could place its profitability threshold of up to $ 105 million.
However, while The naked pistol May not be able to take this step in theaters, its elegant criticisms (88% on Rotten Tomatoes with a 74% audience score) and exceptional box office performances (on the scale of a modern comedy, at least) should help increase its possible vod and streaming income, pushing it over it.
