Overview

• The film opened in U.S. theaters on August 1 to strong critical reviews and recouped its estimated $40–42 million production budget within weeks.
• Paramount’s established 30–45-day theatrical window suggests a likely Paramount+ debut around September 15, 2025, though no streaming date has been officially confirmed.
• Industry outlets cite the reboot’s star power and box-office success to classify it as a “bigger movie” that will use the full 45-day theatrical run.
• The original Police Squad! series aired on ABC in 1982 for six episodes and is inaccessible on streaming platforms because of unclear rights, making Blu-ray and DVD the only legal viewing options.
• Directed by Akiva Schaffer and produced by Seth MacFarlane, the revival blends nostalgic callbacks with modern absurdist comedy, starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. and Pamela Anderson as crime novelist Beth Davenport.
