Nicholas Hoult and his friends are going viral for bank robbing in the upcoming action comedy How to Rob a Bank, open in movie theaters nationwide this weekend.

Directed by David Leitch (best known for his action films like The Fall Guy, Bullet Train, and Atomic Blonde), with a screenplay written by Mark Bianculli, How to Rob a Bank stars Hoult as a social media influencer who goes by “The Wolf,” and livestreams himself and his buddies pulling off bank heists around Pittsburgh. Not the smartest move on their part—now the police have plenty of evidence to track them down. Will they get away with it? Probably not, but you’ll have to watch the movie to find out.

The How to Rob a Bank cast includes Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Pete Davidson, Christian Slater, and John C. Reilly. A David Leitch action movie is probably best enjoyed on the big screen, but if you’d rather we to watch the movie at home, we get it. Life is busy! Read on to find out what we know about when and where to watch the How To Rob a Bank 2026 movie on streaming. (Plus, we clear up the confusion about the 2024 How to Rob a Bank movie streaming on Netflix right now.)

Where to watch the How to Rob a Bank 2026 movie:

For now, the How to Rob a Bank 2026 movie will only be available to watch in a movie theater when it opens in select theaters in the U.S. on Friday, November 13. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. 

How to Rob a Bank is not yet available to watch online or on streaming. But we do expect to see How to Rob a Bank streaming on Prime Video eventually, because the movie is an Amazon MGM movie.

Is the How to Rob a Bank 2026 movie on Netflix?

No, How to Rob a Bank 2026 is not streaming on Netflix, and will likely never be streaming on Netflix, given the fact that the movie is being released by Amazon MGM Studios, and will therefore go on to streaming on Prime Video, not Netflix.

That said, we understand if you are confused, because there is a 2024 true crime documentary called How to Rob a Bank that is now streaming on Netflix. However, even though the movies have the same name, they are not related.

The 2024 How to Rob a Bank documentary recounts the true story of Scott Scurlock, known during the 1990s in Seattle as “The Hollywood Bandit.”

The 2026 How to Rob a Bank movie, which stars Nicholas Hoult as a “content creator” and leader of a group of Pittsburgh-based bank robbers, takes place in the modern day and is not based on a true story.

They are two separate stories and two separate movies.

When is the How to Rob a Bank 2026 streaming release date on Amazon Prime Video?

The How to Rob a Bank movie streaming release date on Prime Video has not yet been announced, and the Amazon MGM titles have been very inconsistent with their streaming release times. That said, it’s possible you might see How to Rob a Bank on Prime Video sometime in the seven to nine weeks, around January 2027.

Another 2026 Amazon MGM movie, Masters of the Universe, began streaming on Amazon Prime about a month and a half, or seven weeks, after releasing in theaters. If How to Rob a Bank follows a similar release strategy, you might see How to Rob a Bank streaming free on Amazon Prime Video around early-to-mid January 2027. But other MGM movies took up to two or three months to come to Prime Video, so you might be waiting until February or even March 2027.

This is all speculation. The streaming releases for Amazon MGM movies that go to theaters have varied wildly by title. So, you may have a longer wait before you see How to Rob a Bank on streaming. If you want to watch How to Rob a Bank right away, you can go see the movie in theaters.
