I was wondering if we'd ever get a third one...

Is there even a demand for this?

Admittedly it is weird we're getting a third though. I mean yeah after how well the first did I get that having a follow up but Angry Birds 2 actually DIDN'T make a profit or even break even technically since you need at least 2.5 and half times your world wide box office to fully be considered profitable and that flick was like 10-15 million short of doing that. Granted the second was a bigger critical hit overall but that usually doesn't dictate another film in the series being made. I guess Sega is trying to branch out to get more hit film franchises with how well Sonic translated but yeah doesn't have a lot of big IPs right now to do so thus is buying and working with others to get on that level thus pushing this movie forward which eh if it's on the level of the second will at least be decent.

I wonder if Sony Pictures will distribute the movie like they did with the 2 others films or maybe a new distributor (paramount or netflix maybe?)

I am surprised, but there are, even in the streaming age, more ways to make money than at the Ticket Booth. There was a quite a bit of merch for the second movie, and it seemed to trickle out over the year or so after the movie rather than being all released at once, so maybe those sales were enough to justify a third movie.

At any rate, I enjoyed the first two so I'll check this out.
