The Angry Birds Movie 3 Production and Distribution Details
The Angry Birds Movie 3 is being brought to life by an expanded production team that includes Rovio and SEGA, alongside Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios, Flywheel Media, One Cool Group, and dentsu. This collaborative effort marks a significant step up in international backing and ambition for the franchise.
In a notable shift, Paramount Pictures will handle global distribution duties for the third film, taking over from Sony Pictures, which distributed the first two installments. The franchise has had a mixed but overall successful run at the box office—The Angry Birds Movie (2016) earned an impressive $352 million globally, while its sequel in 2019 brought in $147.8 million.
Despite the drop, Rovio and SEGA have reported that the combined global box office earnings for the franchise have exceeded $500 million. Additionally, both films have performed well on streaming platforms, indicating continued strong interest from audiences and reinforcing the demand for a third film in the series.
Who will be the Villain in Angry Birds 3?
As of now, the villain for The Angry Birds Movie 3 remains a mystery. No official announcements have revealed who the next feather-ruffling antagonist will be.
In the first film, we had King Leonard Mudbeard, the smug ruler of Piggy Island. In the second, things got chilly with Zeta, the icy eagle from Eagle Island. Both went from enemies to uneasy allies by the end, which leaves the third film wide open for a new villain to take the stage.
The Angry Birds Movie 3: What to Expect?
While plot details are still tightly under wraps, expectations are already soaring. With much of the creative team returning, it’s likely the third film will continue the blend of wacky humor, fast-paced action, and heartwarming moments that made the first two films such hits.
Given the evolution of animation and storytelling in recent years—and the enduring popularity of the franchise—the third movie could also introduce new characters, explore deeper lore from the Angry Birds universe, or even throw in a few curveballs no one sees coming.
