Based on an incredible true story, ROOFMAN follows Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum), an Army veteran and struggling father who turns to robbing McDonald’s restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname: Roofman. After escaping prison, he secretly lives inside a Toys “R” Us for six months, surviving undetected while planning his next move. But when he falls for Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a divorced mom drawn to his undeniable charm, his double life begins to unravel, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat and mouse as his past closes in.

Certified Fresh™ on Rotten Tomatoes® with an impressive 86%, ROOFMAN received widespread critical acclaim upon its world premiere at TIFF in September along with a TIFF Tribute Award for Tatum, as well as upon its October theatrical release in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. by Paramount Pictures under its first-look deal with Miramax. Variety praised Tatum for delivering “the most mature performance of his career” while Next Best Picture said Dunst, who just received a Film Independent Spirit Award nomination for her performance, is “stellar” and “effortlessly charming as Leigh.” Newsweek hailed ROOFMAN as the “perfect balance between suspense, heart, and pure entertainment,” calling it, “one of the most sincere and thoughtful movies to hit the big screen in 2025.”

Since its debut on PVOD on November 11, this unforgettable true story continues to be embraced by audiences everywhere with sustained engagement, strong placement across digital platforms, and exceptional staying power, holding a top 10 position on Apple’s movie charts for three consecutive weeks.
