Channing Tatum says streaming has turned the movie business 'upside down'

Channing Tatum says streaming has turned the movie business "upside down".

The 45-year-old actor - whose film credits include 21 Jump Street, Logan Lucky and the Magic Mike franchise - says the shift in consumer habits towards watching new releases at home has left Hollywood in a state of flux.

While he admits streaming has caused disruption, including making actors take on "bad" films for the money, Tatum sees a silver lining.

Appearing on a new episode of Hot Ones, he said: “I think, now, when you get asked to do a movie, or you’re trying to get a movie made, it’s a very confused pipeline of possibilities, and it really feels like, at times, that you’re incentivised to make bad things to get paid, rather than make something really, really good, for the f****** people that actually get to see these things and people that I want to see these movies, the person that I was when I was a kid.

“And I want good movies.”

He continued: “I’m like, ‘Man, I want to give my money to the good movies.’ It’s such an upside-down moment, but I do believe that the disruption is going to lead to something good. I do believe that. I do believe the streamers came in for a reason, and it had to change, it had to morph.”
