The Kristian Harloff Show

Clayface is number one at the box office! After weeks of concerns about low ticket pre-sales, DC Studios' Clayface opened to $43 million worldwide, including $24.5 million domestically. The R-rated horror movie also earned an impressive A- CinemaScore, giving James Gunn and Peter Safran something to celebrate.
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we're breaking down the Clayface box office results, audience reactions, and whether the movie's reported $44 million production budget could help make it a success. With Halloween approaching, could strong word of mouth give Clayface an even bigger second weekend?
We're also discussing a major Marvel Studios X-Men casting rumor! A star from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is reportedly being considered to play Beast (Hank McCoy) in the upcoming MCU X-Men reboot.
Plus, a brand-new Avengers: Doomsday TV spot has arrived, featuring more footage from Marvel's highly anticipated crossover starring Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. What does the latest footage reveal about the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four?
In other news, Netflix reportedly offered Xbox $500 million for film and television adaptation rights, but Microsoft turned down the deal.

Is Avengers: Secret Wars about to get delayed AGAIN? New reports suggest that Marvel Studios may be pushing production on Avengers: Secret Wars into 2027, raising major concerns about whether the highly anticipated MCU crossover can still make its planned December 17, 2027 release date.
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we're breaking down the latest Avengers: Secret Wars filming delay rumors, what they mean for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and whether the Russo Brothers will have enough time to complete one of the biggest superhero movies ever attempted.
With Avengers: Doomsday arriving in December 2026 and Robert Downey Jr. returning as Doctor Doom, Marvel Studios is preparing to bring together some of its biggest franchises, including the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four.
But if Secret Wars doesn't begin principal photography until 2027, will Marvel have enough time for filming, visual effects, editing, and post-production?
Could Avengers: Secret Wars be pushed into 2028? And would delaying the movie actually be the smartest decision Marvel Studios could make?
We're discussing whether Marvel should prioritize meeting its release date or give the Russo Brothers the time necessary to deliver a satisfying conclusion to the Multiverse Saga.
We're also getting some exciting news from Peter Jackson!
Despite previous reports that The Lord of the Rings: The Shadow of the Past had been paused, Jackson has confirmed that the project is still moving forward.
What does this mean for the future of Middle-earth, and how could The Shadow of the Past fit alongside The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum?
With Warner Bros. and Skydance making major decisions about their upcoming film slate, fans have been wondering whether these new Lord of the Rings projects would survive the transition.

Another Star Wars movie has been put on ice! After years of development, Taika Waititi's planned Star Wars film is no longer moving forward in the immediate future, raising even more questions about Lucasfilm's theatrical strategy and the future of the galaxy far, far away.
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we're breaking down the latest Taika Waititi Star Wars movie update, why the project has stalled, and whether Lucasfilm needs to rethink how it develops and announces new Star Wars movies.
Originally announced in 2020, Waititi's Star Wars film was expected to bring a fresh perspective to the franchise. But after years without a production start date, the filmmaker has now indicated that the project is on ice as he moves on to other work.
Is this another example of Lucasfilm struggling to get Star Wars movies off the ground? With so many announced projects facing delays, creative changes, or uncertain futures, what should Disney and Lucasfilm do to rebuild excitement for Star Wars on the big screen?
We're also breaking down the latest weekend box office results!
Street Fighter has taken the number one spot at the box office, opening to approximately $31 million domestically and $51 million worldwide. The latest live-action adaptation of Capcom's legendary fighting game franchise has attracted audiences, but is that enough to make Street Fighter a genuine theatrical success?
With recognizable characters like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and M. Bison, could strong word of mouth help the movie become another successful video game adaptation?
Meanwhile, Whalefall is struggling at the box office despite receiving encouraging reviews.
The survival thriller opened to approximately $8 million domestically and $17.5 million worldwide, falling short of expectations. Why did audiences turn out for Street Fighter while Whalefall struggled to attract moviegoers? And what does this say about the challenges facing original theatrical films?

Major news surrounding The Batman: Part II! Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh is stepping in to help complete filming on the highly anticipated Robert Pattinson Batman sequel after director Matt Reeves temporarily stepped away to attend to an ongoing family matter.
On today's Kristian Harloff Show, we're breaking down the latest developments surrounding The Batman 2, why Soderbergh is joining the production, and what this means for the future of Matt Reeves' Batman universe.
According to Warner Bros. and DC Studios, Soderbergh will work closely with Reeves, the cast, and the crew to complete the final weeks of principal photography while preserving Reeves' creative vision.
With The Batman: Part II already experiencing multiple delays and currently scheduled for February 18, 2028, could this unexpected production change affect the movie's release date?
Robert Pattinson returns as Bruce Wayne, alongside a cast that includes Colin Farrell, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Andy Serkis, and Jeffrey Wright. With expectations incredibly high following the success of the first Batman movie, fans are eager to see what happens next.
We're wishing Matt Reeves and his family the best during this time.
Would releasing four Beatles biopics simultaneously be a brilliant theatrical event or a risky strategy that could overwhelm audiences?
Over at DC Studios, the upcoming Mister Miracle animated series has reportedly found its lead actors!
