Channing Tatum has been on a remarkable run lately, from his charming turn in the Apple TV+ rom-com Fly Me to the Moon to a surprise cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine and the eerie Blink Twice. But it's his 2025 true crime comedy-drama Roofman that's quietly becoming a streaming sensation on Paramount+ this June 2026.
Directed by Derek Cianfrance (A Place Beyond the Pines), Roofman tells the stranger-than-fiction story of spree robber Jeffrey Manchester. The film takes creative liberties with the real-life case, but does so with nuance that goes beyond the headlines. Tatum delivers what many critics are calling his career-best performance, with Collider's Tania Hussain praising his "physical transformation and balance of melancholy with optimism."
The supporting cast is a who's who of talent: Kirsten Dunst, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Peter Dinklage, and Ben Mendelsohn all shine. The screenplay, co-written by Cianfrance and Kirt Gunn, adds depth to a story that could have been a simple crime thriller.
Despite strong reviews, Roofman struggled at the box office, earning less than $30 million worldwide against a $19 million budget. But streaming has given it a second life. As of June 2026, it ranks among the ten most-streamed movies on Paramount+ in the U.S., proving that audiences are discovering this gem at home.
