Overview

• On Hot Ones with Sean Evans, Tatum described today’s greenlighting as a “confused pipeline” that can incentivize “bad things” for pay over ambitious films.
• He reiterated earlier remarks that streamers “effed up” the industry “for good and for bad,” saying both studios and platforms are “confused.”
• Despite concerns, he said the shake-up will ultimately “lead to something good” because the system “had to morph.”
• He critiqued his own résumé, calling Dear John “generic” and noting his Deadpool & Wolverine appearance lasted “two seconds.”
• Roofman is slated for an October theatrical release (most outlets list Oct. 10, at least one lists Oct. 17), and Tatum highlighted a busy slate including Kockroach, Dance Partners, an Amazon MGM Isle of Man project, Josephine, Alpha Gang, and Calamity Hustle.
