Roofman to Begin Streaming on Paramount+ December 9

Today, Paramount+ announced that Roofman, based on the unbelievable true story of Jeffrey Manchester, will stream on the service in the United States and Canada beginning December 9.

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 the Toronto International Film Festival 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.

Since its debut on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) on November 11, this unforgettable true story has continued 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.

Roofman stars Channing Tatum as the film’s titular character, alongside a cast including Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, Jimmy O. Yang, and Peter Dinklage.
