Angry Birds has officially flown the coop from popular mobile game to full-fledged movie stardom, reports Hollywood Reporter.

Not only is “Angry Birds” a hugely popular game with tons of different versions for smartphones or tablets, it's also about to become what Sony Pictures Entertainment hopes is a big, blockbuster animated film.

Angry Birds - a name that is familiar with anyone who has ever owned a smartphone. The vastly popular game which spawned a multitude of “sequels” and made millions of dollars is back. This time with a true successor to the original.

Angry Birds 2 is out and more than 10 million people are furiously flinging feathered flyers at snorting pigs.
