5 Must-See Movies in Cinemas: August ’17

4. The Emoji Movie

Since its US release, The Emoji Movie has been hammered by critics and audiences alike. But that doesn’t mean this quirky animated comedy about a world based on emoji symbols won’t strike a chord with mobile-obsessed UAE audiences.

Release date: August 10

Fun fact: While director Tony Leondis was brainstorming ideas for a new film inspired by Toy Story, he received an emoji text message and thus The Emoji Movie was born.
