Turns Out The Emoji Movie is a Trash Pile Riddled With Shitty Product Placement. Who Knew? - Sensationalist Headlines

I believe that the movie will at the very least make its money back due to people watching it ironically and people watching it to see if they can make some spicy memes from scenes from the movie. And then we get a sequel announced no more than a month later

really bummed.... i was looking forward to this

[QUOTE=postal;52514373]RT finally gave it a consensus. it's pretty fitting [img]http://i.imgur.com/0ZbZQXW.png[/img] [url]https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_emoji_movie[/url][/QUOTE] Ahahaha, so subtle I barely even noticed it. It's perfect. If only the movie would be the same.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52514384]TJ Miller is in Deadpool however.[/QUOTE] But he [I]did[/I] leave Silicon Valley for this.

I am so pumped for the emoji movie. Look at all those positive reviews!

Spread the word guys. Even if you think it's going to bomb there's always that undecided audience that needs a good explaining to. Word of mouth made "After Earth" bomb hard. We did it once, we can do so again!

[QUOTE=postal;52513612]maybe, maybe not. Despicable Me 3 netted $136 million just from China (fucking hell), but Lego Batman only got $6 million. It comes out August 3rd in China so we'll find out pretty soon if it takes off cause that could seal the deal on it churning a profit or not.[/QUOTE] I doubt it will do well, considering the subject matter of the movie. It's another one of those "You're more than what others make you to be. You're individual and unique!" plotlines, something that doesn't really mesh as well with the East Asian community-centric mentality.

this just in it made $1 billion in china and they're planning on making an expanded universe

This entire thing sounds like Foodfight! Part II. Possible money laundering scheme under the guise of making a movie?

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;52514763]this just in it made $1 billion in china and they're planning on making an expanded universe[/QUOTE] They should do a video game tie-in and make a mobile game out of that candy world they visit in the trailer.

I'm sure critics will hate the movie, but it's sadly still going to make it's money back easily, especially from brainless teenagers (mostly).

This heap of vomit only cost $50 million to make so they are definitely going to make it back off idiot children Buckle up for Sony's VENOM

Considering the overseas market; TF5: The Last Knight earned a total of ~500 million worldwide in 3 weeks. It released in China on 6/12 before the US on 6/21. Despite the first three weeks from both IMAX and regular tickets [I]it still bombed according to Paramount and word from the producer.[/I] The numbers were worse than the other films three weeks combined. The Emoji Movie still has a chance to bomb worldwide while keeping international audiences in mind.

[QUOTE=averygoodname;52513517]why didn't they just do the fucking popeye movie[/QUOTE] Because suits don't see anything but charts and numbers. God i hate suits [QUOTE]Vertically integrated product placement is to be expected[/QUOTE] Like what the fuck does this even mean. Just say product placement, what the fuck is a "vertically integrated". Does that mean that there's a hierarchy of product placement based on whoever paid the most? Fuckin' hell.

Note that Emoji Movie's condition was that Sony wanted to see franchise potential, so even if it isn't a loss, they may still seriously consider going through anyway, given that it clearly isn't going to be marketable [editline]28th July 2017[/editline] Remember that despite what we saw of ASM 2 "success" Sony still called it a financial disappointment. If they can lose on Spider-man somehow I have no doubt they'll lose harder on this

Fuckin' hell.[/QUOTE] They mean that because this is a Sony-produced movie, there's likely Sony products featured. That's not what vertical integration means, however. "Insourced" would probably be a better term to describe that kind of product placement.

[QUOTE=KnightRider25;52514895]What the fuck was TF5: Last Knight's movie budge to consider 500 million to be a bomb?[/QUOTE] I'd say about roughly ~$2 billion in ads (TV, the toys, merchandise, etc. from the announcement in December of 2016 to the initial release), maybe more. For the production of filming it was $220 million. This is coming from a company in which the primary concern is "Buy the toys!" so a bunch of money went into that box. After the first two weeks film producer and studio heads were complaining that it wasn't bringing in the billions like TF4 did and was considered a "no sell". Basically the same issue with Amazing Spiderman 2, but instead of stopping, they're trying to take that gravy vomit train to the end of the rails with three more movies. The next one is confirmed to be a 80's prequel with only Bumblebee, less humans, and on a $90 million budget.

The highest advertising budget I've heard of for a movie was like $200 million, and the first transformers film apparently spent $100 million on it's advertising, which is the usual amount i see a big film spend

[QUOTE=J Paul;52514964]I didn't even remotely enjoy the first transformer's movie, I just don't understand how this happens[/QUOTE] Other people did. There ya go, solved your predicament.

The best I found are these articles covering the TV ads weeks before the film came out. This is Hasbro we're talking about with putting the money towards getting the latest Movie Bee figure for your kid as suckered in as possible. Then again I know little how much merchandise can contribute to a films success or failure over the summer. It could be $150,000, it could be the same as TF1. The number isn't really set in stone as the other films.

All of which included new footage.

I get that there's a toyline and all that (tho i'd imagine that stuff easily pays for itself so I wouldn't really be counting the films box office returns towards covering that stuff to begin with) but I don't see how they could possibly be suddenly spending 20x what they spent advertising the first film lol. i think your math's a tad off m8

There goes my hopes for 5 sequels. A prequel. and a television show on Cartoon Network. :(

reminder they're planning a fidget spinner movie as well
