Might depend on the aircraft/door. Some types have flight locks that engage to keep the door closed, regardless of pressurisation, above a certain speed.

Even on those without flight locks the aircraft may well (deliberately) become slightly pressurised during the takeoff roll and may well stay so until touchdown, quite possibly pressurised enough to make door opening very difficult, if not impossible.
