Historically,

Because this just reeks of marketing and quite frankly looks and sounds generic as hell.

I watched the Angry Birds film recently...they outright talk about sex in that film. Not even word play around it, straight up "Okay ladies! Let's get busy! We can make a lot of eggs by tonight!"

How did that fly?

> The Angry Birds Movie
> Trolls

>at the very least ok
you might want to calibrate your shitty movie radar, it's off

>>89256084
You'd be surprised what the Angry Birds shorts got away with.

>>89255984
>Angry Birds
>Trolls
Those were both shit, man. People just liked Angry Birds because of /pol/bait.
>>89256122
I like you.

>>89255984
I don't remember the Lego movie being called cancer.

I remember people not thinking much of it and calling it a cashgrab, but not a lot of hate, at least when the trailers came out

Also I literally never heard anybody talk about the Angry Birds movie except here

>What makes you think THIS time you're gonna be right?
The other ones don't have poop as a character

Angry Birds was shit though.
Trolls and Sing were just inoffensive and Lego was the only good one. If anything, this emoji movie will be forgettable.

>>89255984
>Angry Birds
>Trolls
>Not shit

Does anybody even remember those movies came out?

>>89255984
There is, at the very least, a market for a LEGO movie and an Angry Birds movie based on the respective video games. Nobody asked for a Trolls movie, and it came and went to and from theaters leaving naught but a Justin Timberlake song behind. "Sing" is a generic jukebox musical feature meant to pad the marketplace and make a quick buck.

Much like "Trolls", nobody is asking for an emoji movie.

>>89256175
I watched Justin Timberlake and what's her face (y'know, the one who voiced the Princess) get interviewed on Graham Norton. Also, the supermarket near my workplace still sells Trolls "bags for life" near the self-service checkouts.

>>89255984

"Trolls" was shit plain and simple trying to cash in on 60 year old toy property with pop culture references and lolz look how quirky it is.

"Angry Birds" was pretty much the same, but it has some effort put in to it at least with good voice acting and genuine funny jokes sometimes it didn't shamelessly try to be hip and cool like Trolls was.

"Sing" it's only guilty of using pop music and dated song/one hit wonders. Besides that "Sing" did an incredible job at making likable characters, engaging story and multiple interesting plots.

"The Lego Movie" was the unexpected one I will admit I thought shameless movie cash in when marketing started, and then I watched it and it punched me right in the face when the plot twist was, it was a kid playing with legos all along.

>>89256175

Trolls has made 340 million on a 125 million budget so far, I think people remember.

The difference is there are people who genuinely care about Legos, Angry Birds, Trolls dolls and pop music.

Nobody gives a fuck about emojis.

Angry Birds is a shitty movie that has some pretty alright character that go well together. Let's not get out of hand here.

>>89255984
all of those were shit though

>tfw you know there is gonna be porn of the emoji on the left when it comes out

>>89255984
Well... of those movies, one is really good, two are mediocre and one is garbage.

Keep in mind, none of those movies had teasers/trailers as bad as the Emoji movie.

>>89256412

>shit

Okay I can understand the other three, but clearly there is something wrong with you.

>People just liked Angry Birds because of /pol/bait.
That's true, because, accidental or not, the metaphor was so goddamn on the nose it was impossible not to notice it.

>that completely unnecessary COEXIST sticker

>>89255984
So is thing going to be like a poor man's version of Wreck-It Ralph?

>>89256345
340 isn't that good for a movie announced as the christmas season blockbuster.
It's definitely a case of "kids saw it but forgot it already"

The Lego Movie never got shit on, people were hyped for it from the start.

>>89256634
>there isn't already porn of it

sing looks cool though

Are Sony Pictures the biggest retards in the industry?

>>89258648
sony is constantly hemmoraging money so of course they are going to cancel genndy's love project for a sure-fire easy to make movie that'll print money at the summer box office

They banked on their shitty Ghostbusters remake which marketed itself solely on a manufactured controversy and couldn't be shown in China being their heavy hitter in 2016. What do you think?

>>89258708

I really want a tsunami to flood Sony's studios. They're near the beach. It'd be so easy.

>sing
The shilling is still going I see.

>>89258844
Yeah, that was genius, let's make the tentpole a comedy movie about ghosts knowing full well that A) Chinese audiences hate ghosts and the censors pretty much ban them and B) comedies don't translate well outside the Anglosphere.

And then alienate 50% of the remaining audience by saying they suck, whilst also alienating much of the leftovers by being so pandering and obnoxious you're actually insulting everyone.

>>89255984
>>89256057
Because Sony needs a franchise that appeals to the lowest common denominator of all audiences without sacrificing shit tons of resources for the sake of creativity; there by guaranteeing marginal returns to be invested into other projects, products and services for the sake of meeting demands yet unsatisfied.

>>89255984
Well Emoji movie is obviously a lot more bottom of the barrel than those other properties.

One big difference is that emojis aren't owned by anybody. It's like if somebody made "The Meme Movie"

Also all of those other movies/properties have something that makes it more redeemable than Emojis

>LEGO move and Trolls have nostalgia factor. Multiple generations played with the toys.
>Trolls and Angry Birds have actual worlds and settings that fit the characters.
>Sing, despite being cliched and derivative, is a completely original property

>>89261053
>sing
>completely original property

inb4 people who forget that talking animals have been around for a long fucking time come and call it a zootopia ripoff

>>89261053

They're not? I assumed Emoji were some company's version of emoticons repacked as original content do not steal.

>>89261163
nope. companies like apple started pushing emoticons and just renamed them "emojis" to try and make them relevant again

>>89255984
>The LEGO Movie.
It had a good team behind it, and the LEGO franchise had already proved that it could work in other mediums (Video-Games and TV)
>Angry Birds.
It was a'right.
>Trolls.
Made me cringe a lot of times, but enjoyable if you turn off your brain.
>Sing.
Good casting, relative good story, nice visuals, and some interesting characters.

Problem with the Emoji movie is that it's the culmination of all the previous movies. It's a Marketing-Made movie. A distillation of corporative greed.
"Muh LEGO movie wus gud, so we gut to make sumthin similar...wut aboot emojis????XD" Mentality.

It can be a 5/10 movie, but the concept is so insane it makes you question the modern Animation industry and how it lives on the exploits of dumb children and adults who leave their brains behind after paying for their movie ticket. The movie itself could be alright, but its the concept, the idea that represents which triggers rage.

>>89256195
I agree that nobody really asked for a Trolls movie but the actual world they crafted around it for the final product was decently interesting and creative (they even redesigned the empoyous creatures to look more appealing).

The Emoji Movie, on the other hand, looks like Wreck it Ralph in the concept of its world except infinitely more dated, more pandering and less creative.
