According to Wikipedia it only cost $50 million to produce. Assuming that's true it'll probably turn a profit as it gonna appeal to kids and emoji are a pretty ubiquitous thing. But it's looked fucking dreadful since day zero. Fuck this pile of Patrick Stewart.
First post nails it

The Emoji Movie is bad.
Good. One of the rare examples of something that actually makes sense in 2017. Now hopefully it will also bomb.
I'll happily watch the Sony product placement supercut on youtube a few months from now. That's the only entertainment value I get out of most of their films these days.

TJ Miller needs to take a break from voicing animated movies.
He seems to be in just about all of them.

Man I'm almost morbidly curious
You already know real ones out here clicking F5 on the DT youtube page by the thousands.
with a 10 core Xeon at 2.4GHz using 130 watts x 72 hours render time per second of film (example rendertime chosen from CGI short film Mr. Hublot) = 9360 watt hours x avg. 12 cents per Kilowatt hour the electricity to render one second of footage costs ~$1.12 per second of film rendered
so the first 5 seconds was $5.60 to render in electricity alone
I realized halfway thru this is a useless post but sunk cost fallacy bro

Exactly, ANYONE could see this being shit.
How does this gets approved on the first place?
yeah this lines up exactly with what i was expecting
Popeye got cancelled months before Sony won the bidding war for this movie, its wasnt a direct 1:1 thing despite seeing people parrot this all summer

Not gonna lie I'd watch it if it was about the Android blob emojis.

That tag line almost makes me want to see it. Almost.
Edit: Can this be the OT title for the movie?

From what I understand, every Emoji has one emotion, one specific purpose, and they have to act that way at all times no matter what. But the "Meh" Emoji has trouble being just "meh" about everything and emotes in other ways too. So he like... and this is where I get confused because I can't fathom how this could be the message of a kid's movie, but he like goes on a quest to fix himself? So that he only feels his one emotion? I assume by the end of the movie they all break their roles and everyone can feel everything but I'll let someone else pay to see it and tell me if I'm wrong. Some of these reviews have me thinking the "Know your place" theme might actually be the real deal??
I'm gonna go ahead and assume that either you didn't see it, or you don't like early Simpsons seasons. Because Angry Birds was actually really good (shockingly so, I only saw it because I thought "Hey, Lego Movie turned out good, let's give this a chance") and it's written by OG Simpsons people.
It's also absolutely beautiful to look at, the animation is incredible. Sony Animation might not have a very good track record but the animators there are talented as fuck.
Edit: In which case I guess your post could be taken as, yes, it is much worse than Angry Birds, because Angry Birds is surprisingly a good movie.

Popeye died for this bucket of rat droppings, Popeye the goddamned motherfucking sailor, which was being made by the animation legend Gennedy Tartakovsky.
This pile of petrified mummy ass peelings killed Popeye. Goddamnit.....

I just don't understand the creative decisions Sony's movie division makes. They can team up with Marvel for a fun Spider-Man movie and help distribute a kickass Edgar Wright film, but then turn around and make garbage like this or that terrible looking Jumanji film. It's just baffling.

Still stand by my prediction that this will make serious bank.
I'd tweet them the thisisfine.jpg comic, but they'd probably want to make it into a movie as well.

Exactly!
When I first heard about this, I was for several seconds just blinking and staring at nothing, trying to guess what in the actual hell were they going to try to tell as a story. Then I said to my self: ok, this doesn't resonate with you cause you are among those few individuals who give a rat ass about social media and that kind of stuff, but for sure it will be appealing to a younger crowd.
It's kinda hard to believe so many people gave the green light to this and nobody raised a hand to alert it was -it seems- and abomination of a movie.
