Rovio’s mighty eagle Peter Vesterbacka told Finnish paper Tekniikka&Talous that the company is planning an initial public offering on the Hong Kong stock exchange in 2013. Vesterbacka noted that the company’s 2011 revenues are estimated around $100 million, up from $10 million the previous year. Rovio is still planning on building the company into an entertainment giant to rival the Walt Disney Company.
"That is the target. There is no reason why we should not be able to build a company of that size," said Vesterbacka.
He also told the paper that Rovio is planning to launch 5 to 6 more games featuring the Angry Birds characters in 2012. This is in addition to toys, merchandise, and the planned animated film coming in the next year 2 to 3 years.
