3 300 million movies in one year is highly unlikely. Since it is recieving so much hype, there is no doubt about it that there will be dissapointment for many viewers. Very few movies survive the pre-release hype that movies like King Kong get. Expect a total closer to War of the Worlds.

What bigger releases come after Kong......When Narnia will not do that well and Kong has some space...It might do it.

As much as i would like it to happen, i just don't think it will.
So being as i am usually completely wrong, i'm in.
EDIT: and after seeing the clip here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IYZAORHX i'm more convinced.

Nah, but it'll do about $260 million. This isn't like LOTR, where there were the fans from the books to view them multiple times. The PJ fanatics can only go so far, too. It looks good, but not that good. I saw a clip on Extra or Access Hollywood yesterday and the CGI with Kong running while holding Watts honestly looked kinda fake. I dunno, the other clips look great, but I don't see it becoming that huge.

This is being hyped up big time as the event film of the holidays but I dont think it can beat FOTR. More like $270m which would be great. It comes out here in 12 days so will see it then!

Personally I don't think disappointment is going to be a major issue, I expect most of those who see it to be entertained. Hell it's hard to spend 200m on a movie and not come up with something watchable, and the effects have gotten a major upgrade from the first trailer. The hurdle for this movie is apathy to the subject matter, no one wakes up thinking they just wish they could see a remake of a 1933 movie.
But maybe I overestimate that hurdle, it's hard to say. The game version looks well made and that might create anticipation that I didn't expect.

Final tally will be 198.653 mill. You heard it here first. It will not make 200 mill. Yes, I am serious.

Roughly $250 million, but I could see (conceivably) $50 million either way. Depends on how it's received. I doubt very highly it'll get to $300 million, but it just might.
