As a matter of interesting fact, the entertainment giant Sony have announced it's win over the global distribution rights to an animated film which would be based on the hit game 'Angry Birds'.

Sony Pictures Entertainment have defeated several major studios to win exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the 3D movie while it furthered announcing a deal with Mikael Hed who is the CEO of Rovio Entertainment.
To move on the statement, 'Despicable Me' producer John Cohen and ‘Iron Man’ executive producer David Maisel will be working on the movie which have been scheduled for release on July 1, 2016.
Hed expressed is view that Sony impressed them with their great attitude, determination, and professionalism at the same time they convinced them that they have found the right partners and team to help them market and distribute their first motion picture.
