LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - An unlikely battle emerged at the box office this weekend between “The Emoji Movie” and “Dunkirk.” As of Saturday morning the animated feature and war epic seemed to be in a dead heat. This time around it looks to take in $28.1 million from 3,748 locations, for a strong hold. That means Sony’s “Emoji Movie” is in second for the weekend with $25.7 million from 4,075 locations. Its B CinemaScore is also quite low for an animated movie, meaning audiences aren’t particularly enjoying the movie either. “The audience has spoken and made the ‘Emoji Movie’ a family event.”That leaves this week’s other major release, “Atomic Blonde” somewhat straggling.
