“Warcraft,” the film based on the popular online game, will be released Friday. Here are five facts about the movie, from imdb.com:

v Source material: The source for the movie adaptation is the books “Rise of the Horde,” which tells how the Orcish Horde was formed, and “The Last Guardian,” which shows the human side and reaction to Orcish invasion.

v Changes: Director Duncan Jones said that the original script was very one sided in terms of the two factions (Horde and Alliance), so he changed it so both factions could tell their side of the story.

v Release delayed: The film was going to be released in December but was pushed back to avoid the release of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

v Dialect: An Orcish dialect was created specifically for the movie.

v He’s a fan: Bill Westenhofer, the lead visual effects supervisor for the film, is a long-time World of Warcraft player and has mentioned getting up at 2 a.m. to raid with his guild while on film sets.

“2016 CMT Music Awards” (8 p.m., CMT): Performers include Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Florida Georgia Line and Chris Stapleton.

“The Americans” (10 p.m., FX): The fourth season comes to a close as Russian spies Philip and Elizabeth race against the FBI to recover a mysterious package.
