“With two-and-a-half billion gamers around the world, Angry Birds is one of those brands that can drive massive fan engagement. That’s why we wanted to bring this unlock to the fans first. Our filmmakers are cooking up a hilarious movie, and we know these fans can’t wait to see how they’re going to bring the Angry Birds’ story to life on the big screen of movie theaters,” Dwight Caines, president for theatrical marketing for Sony Pictures, said in a statement.
The upcoming movie marks Rovio’s first foray into feature films, although there already is an Angry Birds Toons animated series. Rovio launched the series last year through its Angry Birds game, as well as on select video-on-demand channel providers, Smart TVs, connected devices, and on select TV networks around the world.
The Angry Birds movie opens in the US on July 1, 2016.
