If you've been craving a dose of Margot Robbie's early career charm, your streaming queue just got an upgrade. The actress's 2015 crime thriller Focus, co-starring Will Smith, has officially landed on Paramount+ as of July 1, 2026. It's a slick, stylish ride through the world of high-stakes con artists—and a reminder of why Robbie became a household name.
What's 'Focus' All About?
Directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa—the duo behind the beloved rom-com Crazy, Stupid, Love—Focus follows veteran con man Nicky Spurgeon (Smith) as he takes a talented newcomer, Jess (Robbie), under his wing. Their professional partnership soon blurs into romance, but when their biggest heist goes sideways, trust becomes a dangerous game. The film earned mixed reviews upon release, with some critics noting that the chemistry between the leads didn't fully ignite. Still, it quietly grossed $168 million worldwide against a $65 million budget, proving audiences were eager to see these two stars share the screen.
Margot Robbie's Star Power Then and Now
Back in 2015, Robbie was already turning heads after her breakout in The Wolf of Wall Street, but Focus showcased her ability to hold her own opposite a megawatt talent like Smith. Fast-forward to 2026, and Robbie is gearing up for an Ocean's Eleven prequel set in 1962 Monaco, where she'll play the mother of Danny Ocean alongside Bradley Cooper. That project, slated for June 2027, has already added Wagner Moura to its cast. Meanwhile, Robbie's recent filmography has been a mixed bag—titles like Amsterdam, Babylon, and A Big Bold Beautiful Journey didn't quite hit the mark, and her take on Wuthering Heights with Jacob Elordi drew backlash from purists. But Focus remains a solid entry in her resume, a fun heist flick that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Why Stream 'Focus' Now?
For fans of crime capers, Focus offers a breezy, visually polished experience. The con-artist genre has seen a resurgence lately—just look at how Prime Video's 'The Outlaws' became a modern crime classic with Christopher Walken. And if you're in the mood for something darker, 'The Crow Girl' Season 2 trailer promises darker crimes and twisted secrets on Paramount+. But for a lighter, star-driven thriller, Focus is a perfect pick.
Streaming Details
Focus is available to stream now on Paramount+. Whether you're revisiting it or watching for the first time, it's a chance to see two Oscar-nominated actors at the top of their game—even if the game is a little crooked. For more streaming updates, keep it locked on ShowtimeSpot.
