Ok here goes, listen up carefully because I travelled to January 2006 and looked at the year end Box Office lists and this is what I saw:

1 Elektra will open to $30m but fall short of $100m
2 The Ring Two will open to a record $57.9m and finish just over $160m
3 Robots will be strong and make its way to $145m
4 War of the Worlds is being underestimated - when the dust settles $385m will have been earned in the US alone with another $650m overseas.
5 Star Wars ROTS will improve on AOTC - earning $370m as everyone has been waiting for the rise of Darth Vader.
6 Madagascar will earn over $200m and be the highest grossing animated film of the year.
7 Batman Begins will have a strong following but will fall short of $180m.
8 The Fantastic Four will do decent numbers against War of the Worlds and make $125m
9 Dukes of Hazzard will scrape by $100m
10 Stealth will bomb.
11 Into the Blue will be the sleeper hit of the summer with $120m
12 Sin City will make no more than $50m but will be one of the years best films.
13 Harry Potter 4 will make just over $260m making it the franchises second biggest film
14 The Lion, Witch and The Wardrobe will cruise past $200m
15 King Kong will be the event film of Christmas and go above $230m.
16 The New World will make a respectable $55m
17 The Producers will do Chicago numbers
18 The Excorism of Emily Rose will be the surprise horror hit of the year - earning $110m
19 Duece Bigelow will open north of $35m
20 Mike Judges year 3000 comedy will be the best comdey of the year but fail to reach$60m
21 February will stink as the weakest month of the year - but still produce two $100m hits - Hitch and Constantine. Nothing else will come close that month.
22 In Her Shoes will be a sleeper for Diaz in April.
23 Hidalgo numbers for Sahara.
24 XXX2 will do solidly with $85m
25 Kingdom of Heaven will fail to reach $100m and be beaten by Monster In Law.
26 January will be strong with expanding films from 2004 - The Aviator, Million Dollar Baby, Sideways, In Good company, Phantom of the Opera will all be strong - 2 of which surpass $100m.
27 House of Wax will surprise with $70m
28 Add the Longest Yard to Sandlers list of $100m grossers
29 The Island will be a huge hit getting close to $150m
30. Doom will open to over $40m and make a heartbreaking $95m
31. Be Cool will make almost exactly as much as Get Shorty did.

A new gutsy prediction:

xXx: State of the Union will have a great opening of $47.9 million, but legs will come crashing down, and FAST! It will have a multiplier of 2.1 and make $102.5 million total.

I'd go with a 2.3x multiplier, similar to Van Helsing.

Here's my prediction for XXX State of the Union=BOMB!!!!!!! Who the fuck honestly cares about this??? The only time I've seen this title even mentioned is on the internet.. The rest of the world could care less I'd be willing to wager..

Yeah, I'm thinking it'll have a run along the lines with Van Helsing or 2 Fast 2 Furious. 50 millionish opening weekend, 120 million total

Madgez, most of your predictions seem very probable.
