Paramount Pictures has signed on to distribute THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 3 around the world on Jan. 29, 2027.
Sony distributed the last two movies, which made about $500 million combined at the global box office, according to Deadline.
John Rice directs, and Thurop Van Orman writes the screenplay and executive produces with Toru Nakahara. DESPICABLE ME’s John Cohen, Dan Chuba and Carala Conner produce.
“We’re very excited to be partnering with Paramount Pictures and extremely proud of our incredible cast,” Cohen said. “Not only do we have Jason, Josh, Rachel and Danny returning to voice their fantastic characters, but they’re surrounded by an all-star ensemble of comedic talent. These are some of the funniest people out there today, and we’re so thrilled to have them all on board.”
The third movie will feature the same familiar voices of Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Rachel Bloom and Danny McBride in their roles as Red, Chuck, Silver and Bomb. New cast includes Keke Palmer, Tim Robinson, Lily James, Emma Myers, Marcello Hernandez, Walker Scobell, Sam Richardson, Psalm West, Anna Cathcart, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Nikki Glaser and James Austin Johnson.

“ANGRY BIRDS transcends mediums and has been embraced and celebrated the world over,” said Marc Weinstock, President of Worldwide Marketing & Distribution at Paramount Pictures. “We couldn’t be happier to be partnering with Sega/Rovio and these other great partners to bring this latest installment, featuring an incredible voice cast, to big screens everywhere.”
Don McGregor, founder and CEO and Flywheel Media, said, “We’re thrilled to announce that our first theatrical distribution partnership is with Paramount Pictures. As a film production company focused on bringing the best family movies to global audiences, we couldn’t have a better start than THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 3.”
The Angry Birds franchise is built off of a popular mobile game that launched in 2009. It’s still going strong 16 years later with over five billion total downloads across its multiple Angry Birds games, according to its developer, Rovio.
“The Angry Birds brand knows no bounds, and an all-new Angry Birds adventure underscores how the worlds and narratives crafted in our games can seamlessly transcend into the realm of film and beyond,” said Alexandre Pelletier-Normand, CEO at Rovio Entertainment.
“Rovio is fully committed to creating entertainment that sparks imagination across various platforms,” he continued. “We’ve seen continuous success in everything from games and feature films to licensed products and amusement parks, and we are thrilled to return once again to the vibrant Angry Birds world with our new partners.”
With a mix of returning voices, fresh talent and an experienced crew, the movie is guaranteed to bring another round of comedic, action-packed adventures.
