Disney is celebrating a massive win as Zootopia 2 breaks box-office records worldwide, and Kristian Harloff dives deep into the numbers! With Zootopia 2 debuting with a huge $273M in China, the conversation now shifts to the big question: Is this movie headed for $1 billion? We break down its global performance, its impact on Disney animation, and whether it can surpass the original.
Plus, we're talking big updates across the industry — from Odyssey and Avengers teaser plans becoming clearer, to reports that Avengers: Doomsday is going more practical in its production approach. And in Star Wars news, there's major chatter about Star Wars: Starfighter, including reports that the ending has changed and that the tone is now aiming for a Return of the Jedi vibe. Kristian covers all the details, theories, and industry implications.
If you love movie news, MCU updates, Star Wars speculation, and box-office breakdowns, you're in the right place.

| 0:00.0 | What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Christian Harloff show. I am the outlaw of John Roker. Those you remember me on the Shmowdown, the outlaw, hell yeah. It is Monday morning, the Monday after the Thanksgiving weekend. Hope you had a great time with your friends and family. Hope there weren't a lot of fights at the table. Hope you got some good food. Hope you got to appreciate some love and have some fun with them and catch up with them, watch some football or talk about movies. We had some movies come out over the week, including Zootopia, too, which are going to talk about. Later on in the show, we got some DC Supergirl news to talk about. We got so much to get into it. I'm not doing it by myself. The man, the myth, the legend. Mike Kalinowski is joining me today. That's right. The two big |
| 0:39.0 | dudes of the Smodowns slamming together to have a little fun for a couple hours here on the |
| 0:43.1 | Christian Harlov show. So let's not waste any time. And let's get to it. |
| 0:56.8 | Yo, what's up everybody? |
| 1:01.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome on this Monday morning to the Christian Harlov show. |
| 1:04.0 | I am John Roker sitting in for the great Christian Harlov. |
| 1:08.4 | He is off to go see Avatar this morning, Avatar Fire and Ash. |
| 1:29.4 | And he will have an out-of-the-the-the-reaction on the channel later on this afternoon when he gets done seeing the film. I'm seeing it tonight, San Diego, because we don't get preferential treatment and go see early morning screenings of the big film. So that's the price you pay when you move to a smaller city. But I will be seeing it tonight and I'll have my out of theater reaction up on my channel, |
| 1:42.6 | YouTube.com slash John Roker, says later on tonight. But Christians will come up this afternoon. Not sure if Mike's going to get a chance to see it as well. So maybe we'll see when Mike puts up his reaction to him when he comes on the show. But he will be on momentarily. Mike Kalanowski. |
| 1:43.5 | Kalanowski, of course, |
| 1:45.9 | a great commentator on films, |
| 1:47.7 | DC stuff, |
| 2:04.5 | and of course, a great commentator on films, DC stuff, and of course a big inner geekdom champion as well. We'll talk to him about all the stuff going on in the world of entertainment. But how are you all? How was your Thanksgiving? How was your time at home? How was your time with your family, with your friends? Or did you spend it by yourself? I've done Thanksgivings by myself. I think two years ago, Lady Outlaw was out of town with their family. I didn't want to drive up to hang out in L.A. because I just wasn't feeling that great. |
| 2:09.7 | And I stayed at home and watched planes, trains and automobiles and a couple of other Thanksgiving movies, |
| 2:15.0 | got Thanksgiving like a sad man. I went and stood in line at the local |
| 2:19.2 | Boston market and got myself some turkeys, some stuffing, some macaroni and cheese, |
| 2:24.8 | some mashed potatoes and gravy, and a little bit of vegetables and brought those home. It cost |
| 2:29.3 | me about, I think, like $67 or $70 to get all that food to sit there by myself and eat it. And you know what? I had a good time. Sometimes it's okay to kind of spend time with yourself on a holiday. It's not sad or it's not pathetic or it's not lonely for some of us who enjoy our own company. And it can be a good time. And for those of you who may be struggled through the holiday, I'm glad you got through it. I'm glad you're here on this Monday to hang out with us here on the channel. And I hope you had a good time in spite of that. And I hope you found your way through it to be here to hang out with us because we appreciate it madly very, very much. So I am a very appreciative of all of you all. I give thanks to all of you all who hang out, even some of you haters who hang out and watch the show and don't like what I have to say or what I have to talk about. I appreciate it. Madly, you guys are amazing. And I know Christian feels the same way. You all come in support all the stuff he's got going on here. Remember to be a YouTube member. sign up for, sign up for the YouTube membership there on his channel because he's got all kinds of reactions and things going on here on the channel. And he's always growing on this channel, you know, so that's something that you can look forward to as well as we go into the Christmas season. I don't know about you all, but the lady outlaw today is decorating the outside of the house. She doesn't like me to help because I am absolutely a buffoon with those kinds of things. I'm more of a builder. Like I built furniture. I build stuff in the house. That's what I do. She decorate. She's better at all of that kind of stuff than I am. And I just get in the way because I'm a damn clumsy and I'm not good with those kinds of |
| 3:58.1 | things. I'm good in other areas but not those kinds of things. So I let her do her thing rather |
| 4:02.7 | than getting yelled at. It's a better way to go about things. But anyway, we are, this is the two-man |
| 4:08.1 | show and I'm very excited to welcome to the show before we dive into the big topics. We want to talk |
| 4:13.0 | about DC, the box |
