I say we should just wait and see how much it makes when it finishes. That way we can add how much it DID make in the end.
Well. It seems we may not have to put it on there because according to Box Office Mojo, the film is close to breaking even. And this is worldwide numbers, BTW.

Or not. It's now saying $73 million. It was previously $92 million.

Breaking News: It was screened for critics after all...and it is what most expected (although it might go up...just not by much)
Yet again it might have more to do with how it comes out tomorrow and the premiere just happened (seeing how it's a children's movie and for publicity sake they want it at a time where people can take their kids rather than the usual midnight release)

Alright, boys and girls, let's nip this in the bud: The Emoji Movie: Box Office Bomb or no? According to Wikipedia, the film made $64.1 million on a $50 million budget, but the film was eviscerated by critics and movie goers. The definition listed for what makes a bomb on the page reads as follows:
"So, how can you tell when a movie has bombed? This depends on several factors. First is how much the studio paid to make the movie, paying all those people and companies you see in the credits at the end, which is generally public information. How much the studio paid to promote the movie is also an important factor. The marketing budget is generally not public information but is generally a significant percentage of the film's overall cost. A $150-million production may well have had $75 million spent to advertise it. Furthermore, since movie theaters don't just show movies for free, a portion of every ticket sold goes to supporting the theater itself. Put these together, and you can see that a movie mustn't merely cover its budget but probably needs to make twice that before it can begin paying for its marketing costs, much less become profitable."
After two weeks, it still hasn't touched double that. And it probably won't. But, I feel that we should have a consensus.here if it should be added or no.
