It’s not just the critics who hate the Emoji Movie

Poke Staff. Updated July 31st, 2017

Unsurprisingly the critical reception for the Emoji Movie has been terrible (it has a whopping 8% on Rotten Tomatoes) – but even cinemas seem to hate it.

I went to The Emoji Movie at 11 last night and they thought no one would come so they didn't even play it pic.twitter.com/JZzPQv1yIW

Fair play, saying the words “please can you play the Emoji Movie” must have been hard. It’s a real shame, because the marketing campaign for it has been so great – like this tweet from Friday.

Looks like they deleted it, but the internet is FOREVER @EmojiMovie pic.twitter.com/mWC34kD6Nm
