Sony Pictures’ Pixels studio is joining in to celebrate with a global birthday party of epic proportions in cities around the world and online.


Film talent will join with moviegoers and special guests to celebrate with birthday cakes, free play of the PAC-MAN arcade game, and special events localized to each city.


Pixels is set for release in theaters nationwide in South Africa and the US on July 24, 2015.  


As kids in the 1980s, Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), Will Cooper (Kevin James), Ludlow Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), and Eddie “The Fire Blaster” Plant (Peter Dinklage) saved the world thousands of times – at 25 cents a game in the video arcades.  


Now, they’re going to have to do it for real, when intergalactic aliens discover video feeds of classic arcade games and misinterpret them as a declaration of war.
