After the LEGO movie and Angry Birds' success this concept surely sounded like it had a lot of potential for the studios. It actually had potential imho, I guess they just needed a better creative team.

 

They bid on it after the LEGO movie but prior to Angry Birds (which wasn't a resounding success, by any means, just a decent one).

 

I personally don't remember ever being optimistic about it, it felt like a step too far from other similar concept animations.

No wonder the trailer said "Bring a family, doesn't have to be your family". They know no one will want to subject their family to this movie.

The Emoji Movie will cause long term damage to Sony Pictures Animation, most studios can survive a critical dud but something as badly reviewed as this will hurt their next few films like The Star and that one doesn't look great to begin with

Yeah, it ain't going to be The Star. I don't think a movie about the nativity with a bird twerking is going to do wonders.

 

That means it'll fall on Hotel Transylvania 3.

They have Peter Rabbit but that's going to do modest business at best.

Meanwhile at Sony

HT3 and Spider-Man animated will be their biggest hits in a while. If Lord/Miller delivers another classic, $200M/$400M seems solid, HT3 will likely have a KFP3 drop.

SONY is in big trouble.

After 29 reviews, The Emoji Movie finally has a fresh review. Betsy Bozdech from Common Sense Media has broken the streak. Thanks Betsy.

Don't Sony have The Dark Tower next week? That also looks like 💩

Saw this last night at one of the 3 screenings that were shown across country.

 

In some alternative universe, we all could've been watching the Genndy Tartakovsky Popeye movie that was supposed to come out instead of this, but God has forsaken us and left us with a fucking Emoji Movie instead. 

HERES MY REVIEW:

Actually they canned Popeye before the Emoji auction that WAG and Paramount Animation entered in.

It took over Popeye's budget and slate.

Also per Deadline, Emoji did 900K in previews last night.

 

Meh.

Actually... Gendy left the project March 2015, Emoji was bought in an auction during July 2015 against Warner Bros and Paramount meaning in an alternate reality, Emoji Movie could have been a Warner Animation movie or a Paramount Animation/Nickelodeon movie.

[goldenstate5]

Sony still bought it and made that decision?

[dudalb]

Man, I have not seen a film have such entertaining reviews since Uwe Boll was at the height of his notoriety. The Emoji Movie has inspired critics to their best efforts.

This is one of those movies that is not just a flop.but a major humiliation for the studio.Sony execs should just eat at home or send out this weekend;if they go into the trendy popular Hollywood restaurants they are going to get laughed at by the execs of other studios.
