<p>Finnish mobile games and animation studio Rovio Entertainment has decided to proceed with plans for a sequel to its Angry Birds movie, it said, aiming for release in September 2019.</p>

<p>The Angry Birds Movie 2 will be produced with Columbia Pictures and distributed by Sony Pictures, Rovio said.</p>

<p>The first Angry Birds movie, released last year, earned about $350 million at the box office and gave a boost to Rovio&#39;s game sales, helping the company to swing to an annual profit after years of falling earnings, job cuts and divestments.</p>

<p>Rovio said the new movie will be directed by Thurop Van Orman, the creator of animated TV series <em>The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack</em>.</p>

<p>The original Angry Birds game - in which smartphone players use a slingshot to attack pigs who steal the birds&#39; eggs - became a phenomenon in 2009, but the franchise faltered in the following years amid tough competition.</p>

<p>Alongside the movie plan, Rovio is looking to reduce its dependence on Angry Birds - earlier this month it launched &quot;Battle Bay&quot;, the firm&#39;s first multiplayer game which does not carry the Angry Birds name.</p>
