Channing Tatum says Magic Mike’s Last Dance is really his last dance.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Channing Tatum told Forbes in a recent interview that streaming has made him a little fearful due to the changes in storytelling it has brought onto the industry. The actor has remained committed to the theatrical experience through the pandemic, releasing his feature directorial debut “Dog” in February 2022 to a strong $61 million at the domestic box office. While “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” was originally conceived as an HBO Max premiere, Warner Bros. changed coursed and and opened it exclusively in theaters in February. “The movie industry is just changing so much,” Tatum said. “It’s a different era now and it’s just getting crazier with the streamers.
