  • 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 TIFF 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. Variety praised Tatum for delivering “the most mature performance of his career” while Next Best Picture said Dunst, who just received a Film Independent Spirit Award nomination for her performance, is “stellar” and “effortlessly charming as Leigh.” Newsweek hailed ROOFMAN as the “perfect balance between suspense, heart and pure entertainment,” calling it, “one of the most sincere and thoughtful movies to hit the big screen in 2025.”
  • Since its debut on PVOD on November 11, this unforgettable true story continues 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, as well as a stellar cast including Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, Jimmy O. Yang and Peter Dinklage.

Nickelodeon Expands Family Entertainment Footprint With Two New Play Centers In Indonesia

Nickelodeon is expanding its presence in Asia Pacific with the opening of two new Nickelodeon Play Centre destinations in Indonesia, following a licensing partnership between experiential leisure developer PLAY Culture and Tematik Makmur Abadi. The agreement enables the duo, in collaboration with Paramount, to develop and operate Nickelodeon Play Centres across the country.

Nickelodeon Playtime

Nickelodeon Play Center is designed as a family destination that combines active entertainment, character interaction, and creative retail access. This model focuses on strengthening a new standard for recreational destinations that combine physical play, imagination, and social interaction.

Positioned as next-generation family entertainment venues, the centres feature themed dining, retail, soft-play zones, climbing walls, role-play rooms, interactive games, arts and crafts spaces, and special meet-and-greet sessions with beloved Nickelodeon characters.

This initiative arose from the growing demand in the family entertainment industry for thematic content and experience-based activities. Its primary target audience is urban families seeking quality, safe play destinations with educational value. These two initial openings mark the entry of a new standard for family recreation facilities in urban areas in Indonesia.

The first location, Nickelodeon Playtime at Senayan Park, opened on 27 November 2025 as the flagship center. A second venue, Nickelodeon Playtime: PAW Patrol at Carstensz Mall in Gading Serpong, is scheduled to open ahead of the Christmas holidays.

The dual launch signals a fresh benchmark for family entertainment in Indonesia, said Tematik Makmur Abadi director Rey Wilfred, who expressed pride in bringing world-class immersive experiences to families nationwide.

"As a licensing partner for Nickelodeon Playtime Play Centers in Indonesia, PT Tematik Makmur Abadi is proud to bring a world-class immersive entertainment experience to families across the country," said Wilfred.

“We also curate and provide a range of premium toys, collectibles, artworks, and creative merchandise sourced from official local and international producers,” he said, as quoted by government-owned radio RRI. “Our goal is not only to enrich the play experience within our centres, but also to support the retail and entertainment ecosystem, as well as brand activation initiatives in Indonesia.”

The launch of Nickelodeon Play Center in Indonesia is supported by the successful track record of the inaugural location in Shenzhen in 2020. This business model has proven effective in attracting repeat family visits through thematic play concepts.

This concept was developed to address the growing trend of experience-based entertainment in shopping centers. Transforming visitor needs are driving retail centers to differentiate themselves through family recreation facilities.

Nickelodeon Playtime

Linda Dong, president of Play Culture, said the region is witnessing significant growth in family entertainment spending and that shopping centres increasingly require experience-led offerings.

“After the success of our first Play Centre in Shenzhen in 2020, we are excited to work with Nickelodeon to bring this innovative concept to more families across the region,” she said. “The launch of Nickelodeon Playtime is an important part of our strategy to meet this demand and strengthen Play Culture’s position as an industry leader.”

The project is designed to expand the standard of children's recreational facilities in the Greater Jakarta area. The concept emphasizes a balance between entertainment and educational functions.

Cow Play Cow Moo Indonesia views the launch as both a commercial opportunity and a cultural milestone. “We are honored to be part of this historic collaboration with Paramount and Play Culture to bring Nickelodeon Playtime to Indonesia. [...] We are committed to delivering joyful and meaningful entertainment for families. These new centres will not only elevate Indonesia’s family entertainment landscape but also inspire children through creativity, play, and the Nickelodeon characters they love,” said president director Daniel Darwin. 

Nickelodeon Playtime

The flagship destination at Senayan Park brings together major Nickelodeon properties with distinct thematic zones - SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, DORA, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - alongside a Garfield-themed café.  Each zone is designed to be an exploratory space that encourages physical activity and narrative experiences.

Meanwhile, the Gading Serpong location becomes Asia’s first PAW Patrol-themed location-based entertainment (LBE) project. Designed to transport visitors into the world of Adventure Bay, the centre recreates iconic locations and attractions from the hit series.

This expansion also strengthens Nickelodeon's position as an influential global intellectual property (IP) owner in Asia Pacific.

With two initial opening locations, the Nickelodeon Play Center expansion is expected to strengthen the variety of family play options. The presence of these entertainment centers add an alternative recreational destination in modern shopping centers, addressing the need for quality experiences.

This strategy emphasizes the new direction of the family entertainment industry in Indonesia by presenting more relevant and interactive play formats. The integration of popular characters offers added value to children's experiences through creativity and meaningful play.

Danny Phantom Set to Land In Fortnite on December 5

It's time to Go Ghost once more!

Fortnite x Danny Phantom

Epic Games has announced that Danny Phantom and his best friend, Sam Manson, from Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, Danny Phantom, will be landing in Fortnite's Battle Island!


In a recent trailer, the hit game revealed that a Danny Phantom and Sam Manson skin bundle will be arriving in Fortnite's Item Shop on Friday, December 5.

While Epic hasn’t revealed the full lineup of cosmetics yet, leaked promotional materials suggest additional items like Back Bling, Emotes, and possibly Gliders could be part of the package. According to these leaks, the pricing is expected to follow Fortnite’s usual Chapter 7 bundle structure:

  • Danny Phantom Skin – 1,500 V-Bucks
  • Danny Phantom (Non-Ghost Style, aka, Danny Fenton) – Alternate Outfit
  • Sam Manson Skin – 1,500 V-Bucks
  • Danny Phantom Bundle – 2,100 V-Bucks

The bundle will officially go live when the shop refreshes at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET on December 5.

Fortnite x Danny Phantom

Earlier reports suggested that SpongeBob SquarePants and South Park are also set to join the game later this Chapter, hinting at a broader wave of Paramount partnerships. Paramount is also speculated to be introducing a "Paramount Sidekicks" content range to the game, which is expected to be adding during Chapter 7.

Not only is Danny Phantom set to join the fray, but Kill Bill is also continuing to add to its Fortnite roster, with a Gogo Yubari addition to the closet. A fresh companion can be recruited from the Item Shop as well, giving fans the option to have the Best Cat or a Phantom Guffpup sidekick companion. If fans are fast enough, the Naruto Kakashi bundle from Naruto Shippuden is still up on the shop today. As Fortnite has proven with The Simpsons, there’s no collaboration too out of bounds for Battle Island. Alongside new additions to the item shop, Fortnite has also teased the return of the Battle Bus. The Battle Bus Driver texted the runners of the official X account that they were, in fact, not obliterated by an energy beam last week, saying “I Lived”.

After the alleged demise of the Battle Bus via energy beam, players have been hard at work completing quests to repair the Battle Bus, locating pieces of the rig to reassemble, and this text message proves the hard work may have paid off. Although the bus looks a little worse for wear, Epic Games hasn’t confirmed whether the surfing mechanic (the current way to enter battle royale matches) will remain once repairs are complete.

Fans can jump in and check out the new additions to the Item Shop today.
