I liked it better when we called them emoticons.

>>94205462
How did you get out of the nursing home?

Did anyone actually expect this to do well?

>>94205462
emoticons are technically different.
they're really just ascii faces, not single characters.

>>94205518
I expect bad reviews, but to perform decently at the box office.

>>94205557
I remember the icons being called emoticons. That's what they were, on things like AIM or ICQ. Icons. With emotions.

This is exactly what they wanted and you're all falling for it.

People are going to go see this out of bile interest.

They paid for a movie IP nobody would want, made a low-budget animated movie, and are praying for those rotten scores to pile in, because they realized people are much happier circlejerking about how much they hate something than they are when seeing something they actually enjoy.

>>94205441
i misread that as "new animated failure"
not too far fetched tho

>>94205597
The distinction is probably new, then.
I just figured the term 'emoji' came with the new rollout of this kind of shit, but then I don't pay much attention to it.
I use 'emoticon', anyway.

>>94205597
Emoticons on AIM were when you typed in an ASCII string, it would automatically display it as a small image.

Emojis are actual literal characters.

Emoticon = the characters for colon, carrot, and closed parentheses when in sequence are replaced with an image of a smug face
Emoji = an image of a smug face literally IS a character, just like letters, numbers and punctuation in a font.

>>94205462
>I liked it better when we called them emoticons.

The word doesn't even have anything to do with emotions or emoticons, "emoji" it's a Japanese concept that existed since the 90's when their cellphones were some alien tech compared to the rest of the world's cellphones only it got popular very recently in the west

>Originally meaning pictograph, the word emoji comes from Japanese e (絵, "picture") + moji (文字, "character"). The resemblance to the English words emotion and emoticon is purely coincidental.

>>94205636
Ironic memers didn't help delgo when it was in theaters.

>>94205636
>People are going to go see this out of bile interest.
That's what they said about NuGhostbusters too. And look how hard that bombed.

The fact that emojis are glyphs instead of inline images isn't really important. Emojis became ubiquitous because they're a part of unicode, read: cross platform

>>94205636
You're the same person who thought people would see Snakes on a Plane because it kept getting memed, aren't you.

>>94205441

>>94205789
Different age and different situation. People looked at Delgo and just went "wtf". With Emoji Movie people from day one have been all over social media going "wow how are they even gonna make a movie out of that?!"

>>94205839
Ghostbusters was also different: high-budget, Sony thought it would succeed purely on being a brand people remembered, and when they realized it was too broken to fix they went all in on the social media outrage.

Though I wouldn't be surprised at all if Ghostbusters was literally a Producers-style scam, I think its awfulness was a genuine accident.

>>94205789
Didn't Delgo become ironically memed after it bombed?

>>94205789
>>94205839
Yeah, "any publicity is good publicity" doesn't really work nowadays. Most people will stay away, expect a tiny minority who watches literally every single shit, including Norm of the North and Alpha and Omega.

>>94205873
Snakes on a Plane didn't get meme'd till it had been in theaters a bit, and it's continued to have way better DVD sales than it deserves solely because of the memes. It was a "big" budget version of Sharknado: do something outrageously stupid for very little money, hope enough people come see it as a joke to overcome the small production budget, and even if they don't you get to launder a couple dozen thousand dollars worth of cocaine money.

>>94205462

I had just started college which to be fair were the most unsocial years of my life, so forgive me if it's inaccurate. I only saw people on message boards talking about it, not on Facebook, so I figured it was an in-joke gif fodder movie.

In my memory the last movie I can recall people being this crazy about from day one is Transformers 4, though obviously the success of that had nothing to do with reviews. I literally remember entire articles about how "critics are out of touch with modern audiences".

>>94206314

Who wants to bet that it's not actually that terrible ? The "end of cinema", as they call it.
I mean it probably is really fucking bad, it's Sony making a movie about emojis, but is it really that bad ?

Everyone thought Angry Birds was going to be a crock of shit and said it would be "the end of cinema" and it turned out to be actually pretty good. People gave it negative reviews without even watching it.

Don't go see this movie, guys, seriously. Just stay in and REFUSE to watch it. All the critics agree this is a BAD movie and you should NOT watch it.
If you're in the mood for a movie I would suggest you instead watch a quality movie like Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean or the excellent Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy 2, both of which are still on cinemas across the nation and are by far more deserving of your hard-earned cash than this garbage movie.

All their claiming to know the original and be working with massive amounts of material that Aykroyd sent them from the family archives. All lies. And that seems to be the Sony modus "Just lie about what we're doing it'll turn out alright, maybe."

I knew it was going to bomb, i just hope that stupid dumbass kid normies and niggers don't go to see it, even if it doesnt break even or make a profit, every person who sees this will become a slightly worse person.

What will the Brazilian knock-off of Emoji Movie be like?

>>94220921
Emo Movie

/ourguys/ Midnight's Edge covers the story as well as the Popeye movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPsmXytKkdg

There's two important points I noticed
-While the movie does have a $50m budget, the advertising for this was through the fucking roof. Between this and the figure that was needed to purchase the rights to make an Emoji movie, it's clear this needs to do much more than double it's budget. Also in the video, they mention how Tom Rothman blundered a meeting with one of their financiers so they have more to lose (admittedly also more to gain if the movie somehow does well)

-I didn't know both movies were never in production at the same time so Emoji movie never killed Popeye's production. That said, Amy fucking Pascal is the reason Popeye died in the first place

Since this movie's emojis are from the phone of a white teenage boy, you'd think he wouldn't use his black emoji unless telling a tasteless joke.

Why? What about this looked okay? Emojis are nothing like Legos. Legos are timeless and have been around for decades. A nostalgic attachment comes with them on top of the creators of the movie actually giving a fuck about them.

Emojis are fucking Emojis, it's like making a movie about Memes (which I do not doubt is in the works somewhere). It's not timeless, it's not nostalgic and where would you see any kind of love in this project?

>>94221781
Sony's in a creative rut. The animated Spidey movie has potential especially if Miller and Lord are on board, but Venom will definitely be a Fant4stic-level disaster unless they let Marvel have some input (which might mean it becomes part of the MCU).

The claim is that Sony actually rushed this film more than usual.

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/sony-signs-deal-to-turn-emojis-into-movie-franchise-10407437.html

Emoji is public domain, anyone could make a film based on it. So in order to make the film FIRST, Sony paid 7 figures for a script that was being auctioned to Sony, Warner and Paramount.

This also meant that they have no time to make a decent film, because it is possible if they took too long that Paramount or Warner could make a different Emoji movie and release it first.

So, Sony rushed out a shitty movie. And got a shitty response.

Smiley-faced Emoji did nothing wrong.

What kind of scum even created emojis? Truly a blight upon this world.

>>94221967
The third act is irrelevant for the sake of the argument about Wonder Woman's character. She was handled well and with respect. That's the point here.

>>94221813
>The animated Spidey movie has potential especially if Miller and Lord are on board
Yeah, but people are going through Spider-Man fatigue. As much as I liked Homecoming, it is underperforming because audiences are a little sick of Spider-Man. And despite SJWs wanted to see a black Spider-Man on the big screen, general audiences aren't going to care for that, and they most likely won't care about a Spider-Man movie without Peter Parker.

Same, I was so stoked for Homecoming, but it's more of a necessity for Spidey at this point rather than a grand glorious return to the top of the box office; he's overshadowed by the Avengers, just like he is in-universe.

My fear is that Sony will see its underperformance and be like "Marvel couldn't save us, let's just wait for the contract to end so we can remove him from the MCU" rather than recognizing it as general Spidey fatigue.

My hope is that Infinity War will get audiences even more pumped for Spidey and that Marvel takes some risks with the Homecoming sequel, and makes it the Dark Knight of Spidey movies on par with Raimi's Spider-Man 2.

Ice cream, heart eyes kitty, heart, puppy, cookie. Kids would love those genuinely cutesy designs way more than these abominations that don't translate well into toys at all.

If Sony keeps making flop after flop after flop, I have a feeling they'll close down and sell their rights to other studios. Spidey would go to Disney and become the new unconditional mascot of the MCU once RDJ gets too old.

To expland on that, the finance company was suppose to pay for 25% of the film. They walked out, which meant Sony had to pay the gap themselves. This would have been fine if the film is a hit, as that meant they get a bigger cut of money. But if the film bombed that would mean more losses for Sony.

I seriously want to know what the fuck Sony's problem is.
Is the entire corporation just a big money laundering scheme or are they just really fucking stupid?
I honestly can't tell anymore.
They had surprise animation hits like Arthur Christmas, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and the Hotel Transylvania series (while not great, it's good enough to get a following), but everything else has been shit.
You'd think after shit like Ghostbusters and Pixels that they'd sit down and wonder what they're doing wrong. But this is Sony, and I guess it's par the course to stick your head up the ass of your corporate overlords and just do whatever the focus group statistics say.

>>94223060
No because no one wants to go see it to take the picture

Holy shit source?

I'm just imagining the fucking Brony riots after seeing a trailer with CG ponies in NYC

>>94223154
Well, they've got The Dark Tower to fall back on.

She really does appear to be a full fledged retard. She only has a job because SONY wants to save face and pretend they know what they're doing

Not defending Smurfs of MLP, but what is it with Amy and the "magical characters entering our world" bit?

this shit only worked with Enchanted.

who started this trend, anyway?

>>94223291
How do you honestly think that's gonna do financially, let's be real

>>94223357
because you get the characters out of their medium you don't need to you know characterize them you just play the "fish out of the water" card and be done with it, while also reducing costs by being live action
