Overview
- Lionsgate released the first trailer on Thursday and confirmed that Day Drinker will open in theaters on March 26, 2027.
- The studio’s logline describes a private-yacht bartender played by Madelyn Cline who meets a mysterious passenger played by Johnny Depp and becomes entangled with a criminal figure played by Penélope Cruz.
- Trailer imagery highlights Depp’s gray hair, scraggly beard, an unusual accent and ominous lines, and it shows gun- and axe-driven violence plus maritime and tarot-like supernatural cues.
- Marc Webb directed the film from a script by Zach Dean with producers Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Adam Kolbrenner, Dean and Nathan Kahane, linking the project to high-concept action and revenge studio fare.
- The rollout places Day Drinker alongside Depp’s other 2026–27 studio work and will serve as an early test of his box-office pull as studios market him back into mainstream releases.
