It’s a result that shouldn’t surprise anyone: Sony Pictures Animation’s The Emoji Movie, which is in theaters today, is officially the worst-reviewed wide-release film of the year so far.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—We’re live at Google I/O, where Android O’s second developer preview arrived with almost no new announced features. This was mostly an under-the-hood update for the developer preview, and it’s apparently stable enough to be declared a “beta” now.
