/PRNewswire/ -- Eros STX Global Corporation (NYSE:ESGC)
("ErosSTX"), a global entertainment company, announced
today that the highly anticipated upcoming thriller
Songbird, produced by Michael
Bay and the first film to shoot in Los Angeles entirely during the pandemic, will

all transactional platforms beginning Friday, December 11. The film will be available
for $19.99 for a 48-hour rental. The

Said Fogelson, "The pandemic has affected every
aspect of our business, from production to release, but
Songbird demonstrates that a nimble studio like STX can find

similarly with Greenland and My Spy during
these challenging times. The show must go on. Songbird is a
thrilling movie that will speak to audiences in this moment as it
keeps them on the edge of their seats."
Songbird is a sci-fi thriller about fighting for
love at the end of the world from producer Michael Bay, who previously brought audiences
such worldwide hits as A Quiet Place and The Purge.

the human spirit and our ultimate desire for connection and
safety.

the Dark), who also wrote the script with Simon Boyes (Misconduct), the film

Robinson, Bradley Whitford,
