The Angry Birds Movie 3 is currently scheduled to open in Indian cinemas on January 1, 2027. That is the date shown on Paramount Pictures India’s official trailer and repeated in the PVR Cinemas post that sparked this update. The film’s international materials, meanwhile, list December 23, 2026.
December 23 is the date used in the film’s international campaign, while Paramount Pictures India and PVR give January 1 for Indian cinemas. The dates are nine calendar days apart, but no official announcement explains the difference.
Which release date applies in India?
The movie’s official Angry Birds page carries a December 23, 2026 theatrical date. That date was announced after the film moved forward from its earlier January 29, 2027 slot. The change gave the sequel a holiday-season launch in international markets.
India has its own localized date. Paramount Pictures India labels the trailer “In Cinemas January 1, 2027,” and PVR uses the same date. That is stronger India-specific guidance than a general international listing. Unless the Indian distributor posts another update, January 1 remains the relevant date here.
What the trailer actually confirms
The sequel’s biggest change is waiting inside Red’s nest. The famously irritable hero is now raising three children with Silver, and the trailer turns his anger into parental panic. He tries to sound cool in front of his teenage daughter, loses control of a baby emergency and discovers that saving Bird Island did not prepare him for bedtime, diapers or children who are not impressed by his reputation.
The first trailer keeps the larger threat hidden and sells the family dynamic first: Red wants to be an involved father, his older children find him embarrassing, and the youngest can turn an ordinary night into total chaos.
Meet Red and Silver’s three children
- Walker Scobell voices Glider, their adventurous teenage son, whose appetite for danger gives Red a new reason to worry.
- Emma Myers voices June, their creative and independent teenage daughter. The trailer’s awkward doorway exchange makes her the sharpest test of Red’s attempt to become a cool dad.
- Psalm West voices Olly, the baby hatchling at the centre of the trailer’s most frantic domestic sequence.
A first-look feature from People also identifies James Austin Johnson as Fuzzy, the family’s pet spider.
Which familiar voices are returning?
Jason Sudeikis returns as Red, with Rachel Bloom back as Silver. Josh Gad again voices Chuck, and Danny McBride returns as Bomb. Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox are also back as Hal and Bubbles.
The announced ensemble includes Keke Palmer, Lily James, Tim Robinson, Anna Cathcart, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Nikki Glaser, MrBeast, Salish Matter, Sam Richardson and Marcello Hernández. Several of those roles have not been publicly identified, so a cast name should not be mistaken for a confirmed character assignment.
What remains hidden
The trailer does not identify the movie’s main antagonist or explain the mission that pulls Red away from home. It also does not reveal how the children become involved in the action. John Rice directs from a screenplay by Thurop Van Orman, but the final runtime and any eventual streaming date have not been announced.
The international campaign is built around December 23, 2026, while India’s official trailer and PVR post point to January 1, 2027. The birds are returning for another theatrical adventure, but the trailer’s real hook is smaller and messier: Red has saved Bird Island twice, yet he still cannot stop his children from making him look helpless.
