Channing Tatum's Hit 2025 True Crime Tale Overtakes a Colleen Hoover Adaptation on Streaming

1 week ago 14

In over three years at Collider, senior author Jake has now penned over 2500 articles covering a wide range of TV and film for the resources, lists, utilities, news, and interview teams. Alongside interviewing stars such as Selin Hizli, Rose Ayling-Ellis, and Chelsea Peretti, Jake was lucky enough to visit the set of Aardman and Netflix's Wallace and Gromit: A Vengeance Most Fowl in 2024, getting the chance to chat with four-time Academy Award winner Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham. Jake has also worked for other publications, including Agents of Fandom.

We are now less than a year away from the return of Channing Tatum's Gambit in Avengers: Doomsday, following a surprise Deadpool & Wolverine appearance in 2024. With Doomsday set to be the biggest cinematic event of the year, it's safe to say that Tatum is ready to have a huge 2026. This follows a strong 2025 for the Alabama-born actor, with his role in the true crime action comedy flick Roofman receiving enormous praise from both critics and audiences.

As 2026 begins, Roofman is still proving popular, officially topping the Paramount+ streaming charts in the U.S. at the time of writing. In doing so, the film has overtaken the previous chart topper, Regretting You, the latest Colleen Hoover adaptation that faced huge backlash from critics. In Isabella Soares' review of the movie for Collider, she called Regretting You "messy," with the film scoring just 28% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Comparatively, Roofman earned an impressive 87% score on the same platform from critics, although both films tied with an 85% audience rating. In Collider's Tania Hussain's review of Roofman, she glowingly wrote:

"In a career-best performance, Tatum is extraordinary. He not only lives and breathes the role, complete with a physical transformation and balance of melancholy with optimism, but moves through Jeff’s life with dancer-like precision, giving his character the exact mix of charm and sadness that’s impossible to shake. It’s a performance that redefines his career with deeper layers that are raw, funny, and heartbreaking."

Was 'Roofman' a Box Office Success?

2025 was a tough year for most who ventured into the remorseless wilderness of the box office, and Roofman was one of many that didn't come out the other side unscathed. Made for a modest reported budget of $19 million, the film returned a respectable, albeit unsuccessful, $29 million worldwide, split between a domestic haul of $22.7 million and a further $6.4 million from overseas markets.

In comparison, Regretting You tripled its reported $30 million budget with a $90 million global haul, split between $49 million in domestic revenue and $41 million internationally. This was, of course, a mere shadow of the impressive financial success of 2024's Hoover adaptation, It Ends with Us, with the most recent not receiving the benefit of the off-camera drama driving ticket sales.

Roofman is streaming on Paramount+. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.
