Paramount’s “The Naked Gun” reboot, one of the year’s funniest movies, has made $1.6 million at the box office so far after Thursday previews.

It’s on track to make between $15 million and $17 million, which is a respectable start considering theatrical comedies rarely get released anymore and the film only cost $42 million to produce. It stars Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr., the son of original “Naked Gun” comedy icon Leslie Nielsen. He’s an incompetent police detective tasked to solve a twisty murder case in Los Angeles. The cast also includes Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser,
