Netflix will release The Take, the heist film starring Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson and Daisy Edgar-Jones, in select theaters and on the service on January 15, 2027. The date was announced on Nov. 9 in an official Tudum first look, which named Jan. 15. Entertainment Weekly, in an exclusive published the same day, is the source that specifies the year as 2027.

The Lowdown

This is the first official date for a movie PCP first covered on Nov. 3, when the cast was confirmed and Netflix had not yet said when it would come out (Denzel Washington and Robert Pattinson Lead Netflix Heist Movie The Take, With Danai Gurira Joining). The new official pages also fill in who plays whom, which that earlier report could not, and they ship with first-look stills. We are dating the story to the Nov. 9 announcement, not to the January release.

The Full Story

PCP’s Nov. 3 report followed Tudum’s earlier casting confirmation and recorded that Netflix had not set a release date. That line is now out of date. The same official Tudum article, updated Nov. 9, says the film is coming to select theaters and Netflix on Jan. 15, and it publishes a first look. Entertainment Weekly’s exclusive, which we opened via its AOL syndication after the EW page itself did not load, puts the date as January 15, 2027, and is the outlet we are relying on for the year. EW also notes the project was previously titled Here Comes the Flood.

The official setup is more specific than the earlier logline about a bank guard, a teller and a veteran thief. Tudum now assigns the parts that were left unnamed in that first confirmation. Pattinson’s Noah is a recently discharged Army captain, still adjusting to life outside the service. Washington’s Christian Carter is the practiced thief who pulls him into a plan to knock over a Manhattan bank the official materials call the city’s richest. Edgar-Jones plays Rose, Noah’s girlfriend, who works as a teller in that same building — the wrinkle that, in Netflix’s telling, puts both the job and the relationship at risk. Whether Noah can tell whom to trust, Tudum says, is the question that will decide if he gets out alive.

Meirelles, talking to Tudum, described the script’s mix of genres as the hook: “Until the end, you don’t know if you’re making a love story that has a robbery, or if you’re making a robbery film that has a love story.” He also told Entertainment Weekly that, unlike many heist movies, this one stays with a single point of view. “The entire story is told exclusively from the point of view of Robert’s character, Noah,” he said. “We only know what Noah knows, either because he’s physically present or because he hears something over the intercom.”

Pattinson, in the same EW exclusive, said of Kinberg’s script, “It’s a really interesting and exciting script,” and added that the New York heist with Washington and Edgar-Jones “was one of those dream-team situations that was pretty easy to say yes to.” Danai Gurira, Sean Harris, Moisés Arias and Justin Kirk are also in the cast, as previously reported. Official sources cited here do not include a trailer. More Netflix film coverage is in Movies, including the new trailer for Danny Boyle’s Ink.
