How to Rob a Bank (2026) — Nicholas Hoult's Livestream Heist Crew Takes on the FBI
David Leitch, the director behind John Wick, Deadpool 2, Bullet Train and The Fall Guy, is back with a heist thriller built for the social media age. How to Rob a Bank opens in US theatres today, Friday, November 13, 2026, from Amazon MGM Studios.
Nicholas Hoult stars as Ryan, the leader of the Wolf Pack, a Pittsburgh crew of bank robbers who livestream their heists and turn each robbery into viral content. The likes keep coming — until a veteran FBI agent and a brilliant software engineer start closing in on them.
The cast around Hoult is stacked. Zoë Kravitz plays Reagan Gardner, with Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Pete Davidson, John C. Reilly as FBI agent West, Christian Slater as Verity Trust CEO Walton, Michael Gandolfini and Tati Gabrielle rounding out the ensemble. The film is written by Mark Bianculli and produced by Leitch's 87North alongside Imagine Entertainment. It runs 2 hours and 2 minutes and is rated R for language, some violence and brief drug use.
The road to theatres was not smooth. The film was originally scheduled for September 4, 2026, before Amazon MGM pushed it back two months to November 13. It was first released in France on November 11.
The reviews are in, and they are mixed to negative. Rotten Tomatoes has the film at 33% from 63 critics, the lowest score of Leitch's directing career, with a 47 on Metacritic. Critics praised the action choreography and several set pieces, but many found the film tonally inconsistent. The score has slipped as more reviews arrived, so it may still move.
The box office tracking has been soft too. Early forecasts point to an opening weekend in the $7-15 million range, against a reported budget of $60 million or more. The real test starts this weekend, when audiences decide whether the viral-heist idea is a hit or a miss.
How to Rob a Bank is in theatres only from November 13, 2026. No streaming date has been announced yet.
