I can just imagine a bunch of 60 something studio execs green lit a movie called "Emoji" thinking it must be what young people want. I have not seen the movie but as soon as I heard the name on the TV commercial, I knew it would be an awful attempt. And it seems that way: http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/28/entertainment/emoji-movie-rotten-tomatoes/index.html

'Emoji Movie' barely escapes 0% on Rotten Tomatoes

For a minute, it looked like "The Emoji Movie" would be the latest to join the dreaded Rotten Tomatoes 0% fresh club.

But as of Friday, one critic gave the animated children's film, which follows the lives of the bright emoticons living in smartphones, a warm review.
Sort of.

"Positive messages, but colorful adventure is only 'meh,'" Betsy Bozdech of Common Sense Media wrote with her tepid tomato, commending the story as kid-friendly but "not particularly original."

The poor reception is not good news for the $50 million movie and its big-name cast, including James Corden, Anna Faris, T.J. Miller and Maya Rudolph. "The Emoji Movie" debuts head-to-head at the box office this weekend with Charlize Theron's action flick "Atomic Blonde" and faces competition from "Dunkirk" and "Girls Trip."
