Propelled by “Zootopia” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” Disney is crossing the $1 billion mark at 2016’s international box office on Friday.

It’s the earliest that Disney has ever reached the milestone. “Zootopia” has hit $415.9 million so far in its international release, while “The Force Awakens” took in about $447 million this year from foreign markets after grossing $680 million during the last two weeks of 2015.

“Zootopia” has also totaled $217.4 million in the U.S., leading the box office for three weekends.

“Zootopia” is now the second-largest movie ever in Russia, behind only “Avatar,” with $26.5 million. In China, the animated comedy has brought in $184.7 million and is Disney’s second-highest grossing release in that market behind “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

France is the third highest international market with $26 million, followed by Germany with $19.1 million, South Korea with $18.7 million, Mexico with $15.8 million and Spain with $12.5 million.

“Zootopia” is launching in the U. »

Daytime TV’s best and brightest got bittersweet news on Thursday afternoon.

While CBS and The Young and the Restless led the list of networks and programs up for 2016 Daytime Emmy awards — with 77 and 27 nods respectively — the announcement was tempered by the news that the ceremony will not be televised.

In advance of unveiling its fall schedule at the upfronts in May, CBS Entertainment on Friday announced renewals for eleven more primetime series — a list that includes all the usual suspects among ongoing shows except “Criminal Minds.” Decisions on first-year series will be announced in the coming weeks.

The series announced to return are “Blue Bloods,” “Elementary,” “Hawaii Five-0,” “Madam Secretary,” “Mom,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “NCIS: New Orleans,” “Scorpion,” “2 Broke Girls,” “Survivor” and “The Amazing Race.”

They join the previously renewed “The Big Bang Theory” and “NCIS,” the network’s top-rated programs. Also as previously announced, “Mike & Molly,” “Person of Interest” and “The Good Wife” are ending after their current seasons wrap this spring.

None of the renewals is a real surprise, as each of the shows has played a role in the current success of CBS, which stands as primetime’s top-rated network in adults 18-49, 25-54 and total viewers. »

Two legendary superheroes wage a slam-bang battle in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” but the biggest beating administered in its debut Friday was to the critics. Zack Snyder‘s PG-13-rated action epic zoomed to a record $82 million in its first day of U.S. release at the U.S. box office for Warner Bros.. That put “Batman v Superman,” which stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, on pace to deliver a record-breaking $170 million over the three days for Warner Bros. and defy searing reviews, while successfully launching the lynch-pin film in the studio’s ambitious five-year, 10-movie strategy built around the DC. »

AMC has revealed the first photo of one of the most iconic characters from “Preacher” — Eugene “Arseface” Root (Ian Colletti), a boy whose failed suicide attempt leaves him with a severely disfigured face, but doesn’t stop him from being the nicest kid you’ll ever meet. Eugene idolizes local preacher Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), but remains troubled by something he did in the past, which he fears has turned God against him.

“Preacher” is an adaptation of the cult Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon comic first published in 1995. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg executive produce the project and directed the pilot, while “Breaking Bad” alum Sam Catlin serves as showrunner, writer and exec producer.

Eugene’s memorable face is created wholly through prosthetics, Rogen revealed during a panel following “Preacher’s” world premiere at SXSW.

The second trailer for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows” has arrived with plenty of loud noise and feel-good brotherhood from the relentlessly upbeat terrapin crime-fighters.

Laura Linney’s character asks at one point, “Who are you — superheroes?” The response: “Just four brothers who love this city.”

The trailer comes two months before Paramount releases the film on June 3. Combat plus wisecracks abound as Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Megan Fox return with Stephen Amell playing vigilante Casey Jones.

“Bringing back the mohawk — good for you,” one of the turtles deadpans to the villain Bebop, who does indeed sport a purple mohawk.

At one point, Raphael lands on the windshield of a jet, prompting a brother to say with a touch of sarcasm, “That went well.”

Dave Green directs and Michael Bay, Andrew Form, Bradley Fuller, Scott Mednick and Galen Walker are producing. Will Arnett, William Fichtner, Brian Tee, »

Welcome to Outrage Watch, HitFix's semi-regular rundown of entertainment-related kerfuffles. Not feeling anxious enough already? Get your fix of righteous indignation below, and stay posted for outrage updates throughout the week. Warning: Major Batman V Superman Spoilers Below. Critics haven't been kind to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, with the superhero event film currently standing at a rancid 30% average on Rotten Tomatoes. Many of these reviewers have specifically taken aim at director Zack Snyder's alleged mishandling of the material, with Consequence of Sound reviewer Michael Roffman perhaps summing it up most succinctly: "Somebody stop Zack Snyder. Somebody save the world." Joe Gross over at the Austin American-Statesman, meanwhile, voiced his displeasure this way: "I'm not sure what Snyder has against these characters, why he is so determined to make them as distasteful as possible." That second quote feels especially appropriate in light of a story published today on EW, »
