The Emoji Movie: Chapter 3 - Last Text

The Emoji Movie: Chapter 3 - Last Text is a 2035 American computer-animated comedy film directed by Tony Leondis and written by Leondis, Chris McKenna, and Erik Sommers, based on emoji faces, smileys and graphics used in electronic messages. Produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation, it is the third and final installment in The Emoji Movie trilogy and a sequel to The Emoji Movie: Chapter 2 (2028). The returning voices of T.J. Miller, James Corden, Anna Faris, and Maya Rudolph are joined in by Melissa Leo, Jimmy Kimmel, Ryan Gosling, Ed Helms, Amanda Peet, and Mark Ruffalo. The film's plot follows Gene Meh as he begins overshadowed by a new generation of advanced emojis, and plans to prove to them he's still got it. The film premiered at the Regency Village Theater on July 22, 2035, and was released theatrically in the United States on July 27, 2035, by Sony Pictures Releasing. It grossed over $485 million on a $56 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing in the series, but, like its predecessors, earned near-universal disdain from critics and audiences alike, although the animation received praise. Like the second film, it won a Razzie for Worst Prequel or Sequel.
