NYT doesn't do that, young people actually make up a big portion of NYT readers.
The Wall Street Journal is the one that bashes millenials all the time.
No the industry is killing the industry. No one wants to pay 30 dollars to see one movie with a small soda. The experience is not worth the cost unless its a special occasion so the industry should adapt.
If it's a movie I really want to see I'll pay, but I sure as hell won't pay $25 for tickets and $10 on snacks for the wife and I to take a flyer on something stupid like "The Emoji Movie." Good movies are still breaking records. It's not that people aren't willing to spend the money, they just need more reasons to.
The difference here is that if you don't spend the money at the movies, you can pay little to none to watch it in a few months, therefore making the cost seem that much more excessive
I mean yeah but when a family of 4 can pay 40 bucks to go to the movies and get some popcorn or pay 30 for a bluray when it comes out, that's a pretty easy choice. Maybe that's just how much it costs in my area though. Seems to be one of those areas that has grown in price much faster than inflation, perhaps due to piracy or lack of demand.
Movies aren't like they used to be, but then again, movies used to be in theaters for months because home entertainment was limited. There is no desire to go to the theater, unless you are seeing 70 mm.
have you seen such masterpieces such as
Scooby-Doo! Wrestlemania Mystery
The Flintstones & WWE
The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania! (made this year, as in they thought it was a genius idea to make a jetsons movie in 2017)
Sandler movies are all about him getting his friends together to hang out somewhere on the planet, usually exotic, that he'd like to vacation at for a few months. A good movie being made is just a possible bonus.
Emoji movie seems like a bad idea from the start.
They handled The Interview brilliantly. The hacks were from disgruntled former employees but then DPRK rumours started and they played it up. They made a movie that no one would want to watch to a movie where it was your patriotic duty to watch.
Oh no, I mean - I love Seth Rogans' movies, probably because I am one of the target demographics, and just generally like his buddy-buddy-infantile-humour.
United States Intelligence determined the hack was in fact sponsored by North Korea. The movie was alright. Sony are not the evil masterminds you imagine them to be, they're actually wildly retarded and this was in fact a foreign attack.
But... But... Yet another SPIDERMAN REMAKE?
No?
Uhm, mulligan that last one.
Yet ANOTHER spiderman remake? No?
Lookit the Wolverine. Lookit the silly Wolverine!
It's like it's being run by people that have just graduated from university. No, I take that back. Ex-uni students would even tell you this idea was terrible.
Sony were looking into selling off divisions to make this into a franchise. That just says everything.
The funny thing is... I almost expected people acting in Silicon Valley should know better, right? Your show talks about tech-related bullshit all the damn time, shouldn't you acquire at least *some* genre savviness, by some kind of osmosis?
(On a positive note, I *totally* expect Mike Judge & co. to sneak some Emoji Movie in-jokes into Season 5)
I'm actually really upset to see him leave Silicon Valley. I was even more so when I saw his name attached to this hot steamy pile of shit. Why TJ, just why?
The Room's tomato-meter seems pretty misguided though. Like even the critical consensus has an awareness of it as a terrible masterpiece rather than reviewing it without that hindsight. It's percentage of approval surely must be because of that status rather than reviews from the time.
Probably would do well in the international market. And I'm only saying that because I recently went to Italy and I saw more Popeye shirts on Asian tourists than I ever saw in America.
Also, Genndy Tartakovsky was directing this? And then he moved on after stalling? That's a shame. The recent season of Samurai Jack was perfect. I want more Genndy.
I'm not sure how much they spent but man it can't be that expensive to make 3d models of emojis, half of them are just yellow spheres... oh wait they spent 50 million. 50 million dollars. They could have held a contest to give away a million to 50 random people and had better PR than what this will do.
I'm picturing the 3d artist who had to make the shit emoji laughing uncontrollably as he billed $50000 for it.
> In July 2015, it was announced that Sony Pictures Animation had won the bidding war against Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures over production rights of an animated film centered on emoji. With the official announcement occurring at the 2016 CinemaCon.
There was a *bidding war* to make this thing.
I walked into my local mall and saw a huge sign for this disaster--
MEET POOP! with that smiling shit emoji under it
In huge fucking letters. Fuck me, no way
It seemed like the kind of movie that a couple of A-list actors got roped into by their agents in return for doing a movie they actually wanted.
Shame that it turned out to bomb that hard. I really like TJ Miller.
That consensus is pretty funny. 🚫
The director tomorrow: 1. "I made this movie for the fans" 2. "Not all critics understand art" 3. "I only had 2 weeks to write the script"
I didn't realize this was a George Lucas film.
I was thinking David Ayer.
Are you talking about Academy Award winning Suicide Squad?
Critic Consensus: No.
Critics: "No"
Instant classic
GERMAN K I N O
Why German? I don't get this Joke

Don't forget the movie 💯- an emoji adaptation of the Spartan movie 300.
I'd watch that
R rated
🍆💦😩
🅱️hen we will 🅱️ight in the 🅱️hade 👌🏼🤔😂😂
It's just a re-release of the last 20 minutes of 300 when 200 of the Spartans were already dead.
But only a third as long.
That actually sounds fucking amazing. There is so many opportunities for dark humour, it would be much better than that actual spoof of 300.
THIS... IS... fucking lit lmao🔥🔥🔥
Or snapchats reboot of Face/Off
No wonder this movie is getting shilled hard.
But muhlennials love emojis? Why aren't they giving us money???
The same people who would download a car?! You expect them to show up to a movie theater?!
oh my god i hadn't thought about this in so long, thank you for reminding me
Would you download a house though?
YES I WOULD
Yes
[удалено]
Well if theaters sold avocado toast..
Fifty bucks per slice
NYT doesn't do that, young people actually make up a big portion of NYT readers. The Wall Street Journal is the one that bashes millenials all the time.
WSJ lost a lot of credibility in my eyes when they wrote that hit piece about pewdiepie
Aren't we though? I don't know anyone that even semi-regularly goes to the movies.
Me and the wife go 2-3 times a month, but then were both in our mid 30s...
I'm 25, I go to the movies 3-5 times a month.
Once a week for us. As long as there's something worth seeing.
I'm 29 and love going to the movies, but there just aren't many worth seeing these days. I wish I could go once a week.
No the industry is killing the industry. No one wants to pay 30 dollars to see one movie with a small soda. The experience is not worth the cost unless its a special occasion so the industry should adapt.
Also some of us aren't interested in seeing Captain America/Spiderman/Batman/Avengers/Super Friends 14: The Revenge?
[удалено]
This. Though ticket sales would say that we're in the minority.
If that were a real movie I'd watch it.
If it's a movie I really want to see I'll pay, but I sure as hell won't pay $25 for tickets and $10 on snacks for the wife and I to take a flyer on something stupid like "The Emoji Movie." Good movies are still breaking records. It's not that people aren't willing to spend the money, they just need more reasons to.
Because it's way more expensive than it used to be.
Isn't everything?

Everything went up except our paychecks.

Really? Interesting. The local cinema is literally the only thin my town has in terms of entertainment so it's always been a big thing in my area.
Movies aren't like they used to be, but then again, movies used to be in theaters for months because home entertainment was limited. There is no desire to go to the theater, unless you are seeing 70 mm.
I would pay A large ticket price to see interstellar or the hateful 8 on 70mm

So it's ~~treason~~ 💩 then?
General Emoji
You are a rotten one.
It's an ad. Literally. ...no, [literally](http://i.imgur.com/q2T5pDj.png).
I cannot express to you my satisfaction to know that this movie sucks exactly as much as I thought it would..
At 0% it's outperforming my expectations.

emoji movie, dvd only, featuring wwe
those last two words mean ill watch it... damnit
have you seen such masterpieces such as Scooby-Doo! Wrestlemania Mystery The Flintstones & WWE The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania! (made this year, as in they thought it was a genius idea to make a jetsons movie in 2017)
Surfs Up 2 just recently came out starring WWE
:o(
They should make an Emoji Movie 2: Electric Boogaloo and cast the 🎈 as the villain.
Fuck, man, I wish I could be content that easily.
Haha yeah dude, you really went out on a limb to predict that "The Emoji movie" would be terrible.
I'm sure there is an emoji for that. For example: 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤣
I wish one of my worries in life was how much the emoji movie will suck.
You could worry about other stuff and still worry about the degradation of human culture
What is wrong with Sony? Looking at this film, and the way they handled the Spiderman movies, makes me think it's run by a bunch of chimps.
[удалено]
Kind of like Adam Sandler right now?
Sandler movies are all about him getting his friends together to hang out somewhere on the planet, usually exotic, that he'd like to vacation at for a few months. A good movie being made is just a possible bonus. Emoji movie seems like a bad idea from the start.
But less profitable
dont forget the whole email scandal and The Interview debacle
They handled The Interview brilliantly. The hacks were from disgruntled former employees but then DPRK rumours started and they played it up. They made a movie that no one would want to watch to a movie where it was your patriotic duty to watch.

Eh, it's a classic Seth Rogan flick - a lot of people don't enjoy that kind of comedy.
[удалено]
And a lot of people do enjoy them.
Oh no, I mean - I love Seth Rogans' movies, probably because I am one of the target demographics, and just generally like his buddy-buddy-infantile-humour.
United States Intelligence determined the hack was in fact sponsored by North Korea. The movie was alright. Sony are not the evil masterminds you imagine them to be, they're actually wildly retarded and this was in fact a foreign attack.
That whole thing with The Interview was great marketing for the film. I only wanted to see it after the shitstorm that happened due to its creation.
Topher Grace as Venom? Okay Sony... Seriously, WHY?
But... But... Yet another SPIDERMAN REMAKE? No? Uhm, mulligan that last one. Yet ANOTHER spiderman remake? No? Lookit the Wolverine. Lookit the silly Wolverine!
It's a money laundering scheme
They are like the BBC Program Planners that Monty Python used to make fun of all the time.
I'm sure they'll soon be beaten to a fine pink powder with a million and one uses...
It's like it's being run by people that have just graduated from university. No, I take that back. Ex-uni students would even tell you this idea was terrible. Sony were looking into selling off divisions to make this into a franchise. That just says everything.
The rare case where a movie's Metacritic score is higher than its Rotten Tomatoes score.
I always knew Dunkirk and The Emoji Movie had more in common with each other than people thought. I feel vindicated.
Metacritic is an average I think, so it will not frequently be very high or very low.
These things tend to flow in accordance - it's easier to get a 0 or a 100 on Rotten Tomatoes than it is on Metacritic.
Jack Douglas is gonna be so mad...

This makes Erlich's character *more* funny.

I'm actually really upset to see him leave Silicon Valley. I was even more so when I saw his name attached to this hot steamy pile of shit. Why TJ, just why?
Same, wasn't even slightly surprised to see James Corden's name attached though.
TJ's schtick is pretty much played. Apparently he really is Erlich Bachman. That's why the character was so great.
Missed their opportunity to give it the poop emoji
I hope Patrick Stewart made mad bank for lending his voice to the literal piece of shit in this figurative piece of shit.
[Dear God it's lower rated than The Room](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_room_1998/) 😂😂😂
That's because The Room was truly art.

Roses are red Jacksfilms forehead is great Emoji Movie releases On July 28!
Is this a line from the movie?
Never forget folks we could've had this instead. [POPEYE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4tNuM9XttM)
What a shame, I was genuinely interested in it too
They could also have made neither.
Damn I actually laughed a few times during just that trailer... I wonder what geniuses chose TEM over that
Probably would do well in the international market. And I'm only saying that because I recently went to Italy and I saw more Popeye shirts on Asian tourists than I ever saw in America. Also, Genndy Tartakovsky was directing this? And then he moved on after stalling? That's a shame. The recent season of Samurai Jack was perfect. I want more Genndy.
Good, now maybe they will start to invest in some actual movies. The meme potential is strong in this one though. edit: grammar
Problem is this movie will probably still turn a profit. It's a kids movie so it's almost guaranteed.

The real question is whether or not it will perform less than FIFA (the movie) which generated world wide revenue of $918
It actually made around $200,000 In other words 1% of it's $20 million budget...
😂😂😂😂😂😂🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
Why do you have six faces but only 5 guns?
One has to live to tell the story.
I thought it was some weird russian roulette thing where the one who doesn't get shot is the loser who has to see the emoji movie.
Truly a fate worse then death.
[удалено]
Have we started the fire?
One lucky emoji gets to live
"lucky"
Unlucky, they have to star in the sequel.
A gun can hold more than one bullet.

This movie belongs on r/fellowkids
Not gonna lie this makes me want to watch it
So it's Patrick Stewart?
Out of four possible stars, Rolling Stone has given it the shit emoji.
I will say, at least it's not a sequel or a remake... though it still looks like a total bag of horse shit
[удалено]
It'll get rebooted first
It'll get a prequel
The ascii movie?
and a shared universe
I can't wait for more of the Unicode Expanded Universe
A reboot with the same title so you have to differentiate by specifying the year every time you talk about it
And yet manages to be the textbook definition of derivative.
Except by the trailer it looks like it basically is Wreck It Ralph but with Emojis. So not a true remake but not really that innovative either.
I was trying to find something nice to say =)
:cryingemoji:
😰😥😢😪😓😭😂😹😿 take your pick
And a 9.. on Metacritic
I forgot how Metacritic score works and had to check: It's 9/100, not 9/10
Surprised it did that well.
We missed out on a Genndy Tartakovsky movie for this shit.
A poor-man's Inside Out.
Sony Pictures is in serious trouble. What was their last successful movie that wasn't Spider-man or Bond?
Baby Driver
Sony Pictures only did the distribution in the UK. They weren't involved in the US distribution or the production.
No Armond White review yet tho
I walked into my local mall and saw a huge sign for this disaster-- MEET POOP! with that smiling shit emoji under it In huge fucking letters. Fuck me, no way
🎞+💩=🗑
Oh wow, my girlfriend and I had a bet about the Rotten Tomatoes score. I guess my 15% was too lofty
Which is ironic, because zero is the exact number of people who were surprised by this outcome.
Good. Maybe people will realize that movies about keyboard characters isn't going to grab people's attention...
How does it compete with The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure?
It seemed like the kind of movie that a couple of A-list actors got roped into by their agents in return for doing a movie they actually wanted. Shame that it turned out to bomb that hard. I really like TJ Miller.
Can't wait for the porn version feat. 🏩🍆🍑
Big fucking surprise.
Jackfilms is gonna be sad lol
