Liam Neeson’s “The Naked Gun” premieres in theaters on Friday, Aug. 1, and we’ll offer our best prognostication of when you will be able to stream it at home!

When will ‘The Naked Gun’ be available to stream?
Because “The Naked Gun” is distributed by Paramount, it’s easy to determine exactly where the movie will stream once it leaves theaters. As with all other Paramount Pictures titles, “The Naked Gun” will be available to stream first on Paramount+.
How long will that take? It might not be as long as some fans fear. Recent Paramount releases like “Novocaine,” “Better Man,” and even “Gladiator II” all came to streaming around 60 days after arriving in theaters, seemingly regardless of box office success.
For now, I’ll predict that “The Naked Gun” will use the same window. If that holds true, the movie will debut on Paramount+ on Sept. 30. However, if “The Naked Gun” sustains its popularity in theaters, Paramount may decide to keep it there longer to let it rack up more revenue.
