Awareness of both Alien Covenant and The Emoji Movie was buoyed by the release of teaser trailers over the winter holidays frame.
The Emoji Movie trailer took more of a meta-approach by comparison, with the Meh emoji directly informing viewers of the film’s upcoming release.
Alien Covenant is both a sequel to Scott’s divisive Prometheus and a prequel to the director’s sci-fi classic Alien.
Ridley Scott’s Alien Covenant and Sony’s The Emoji Movie are two wildly different films that are arriving in 2017 and have already generated much interest.
