In the 3D animated comedy, The Angry Birds Movie, we’ll finally find out why the birds are so angry. The movie takes us to an
island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We’re the Millers,
Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen), and the volatile
Bomb (Danny McBride, This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by
mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.
Marketing/Promotion: Host an “Angry Birds Fan Appreciation” day on opening weekend. Families can participate in games.
Invite bird handlers to attend and showcase birds to the crowd. Partner with pet stores that sell birds for bounce-back deals. There
will be opportunities for plenty of tie-ins with the popular video game of the same name. Also look for businesses that have national
merchandise and other tie-ins to the film. For example, there will be special Lego sets and Lego Dimensions expansion packs
released in the spring.
Compatible films for trailer programming: The Boss, The Jungle Book, Ratchet & Clank

It’s been more than 10 years since our last appointment at Calvin’s Barbershop. Calvin (Ice Cube) and his longtime crew, including
Eddie (Cedric the Entertainer), are still there, but the shop has undergone some major changes. Most noticeably, our once maledominated sanctuary is now co-ed. The ladies bring their own flavor, drama and gossip to the shop challenging the fellas at every
turn. Despite the good times and camaraderie within the shop, the surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, forcing
Calvin and our crew to come together to not only save the shop, but also their neighborhood.
Marketing/Promotion: Run a best hairdo contest on social media leading up to the movie’s release. Have fans upload pictures of
their style with hashtags like #bestcut and #thebarbershop. Hand out prizes in a variety of categories like Funniest, Longest, and
Most Unique. Also use social media to ask followers to answer trivia questions about the film series. Partner with hip hop and top
40 radio stations to highlight the music of actors Ice Cube, Eve, Common and Nicki Minaj. Advertise the movie barbershops and
salons with one-sheets, promotional materials and copies of the trailer to play if they have the capabilities.
Compatible films for trailer programming: Zoolander 2, The Perfect Match, My Big Fat Greek Wedding
