Summary
- Channing Tatum's Roofman ranks among 2025's top-grossing films

As of October 22nd, 2025, Channing Tatum's crime-comedy Roofman is inching closer to surpassing Dwayne Johnson's sports biopic The Smashing Machine at the global box office. With a current worldwide haul of $18.1 million, Roofman has already outperformed several highly rated films, including Park Chan-wook's dark comedy thriller No Other Choice and Netflix's animated sensation KPop Demon Hunters.
The Channing Tatum-led crime comedy now trails Johnson's latest release by roughly $400,000 in total earnings. However, given its steady box office momentum, Roofman is expected to overtake The Smashing Machine in the coming weeks. Prior to this, Tatum's last live-action theatrical release was the 2024 romantic comedy drama Fly Me to the Moon, which earned $42.2 million globally.
Directed by Derek Cianfrance, Roofman is based on a bizarre true story and follows Jeffrey Manchester, a former Army veteran who robs McDonald's restaurants by entering through their roofs, earning him the nickname "Roofman." After escaping prison, he hides in a Toys "R" Us store for months and forms a romantic relationship with a single mother, played by Kirsten Dunst.
