Wasn't Cars delayed until 2006?
Also, What about the Chronicles of Narnia, where does that go?

I think that the ring will do very well, but I am hesitant to call it a 100m lock. Feel free to make your own list, too, with your preferences.

King Kong isn't a lock for $100m - mark my words!
But on the other side: Robots should be a lock for at least $100m!

Rush Hour 3 isnt being released in 2005 and you are really underestimating its numbers by putting it up in the air after the last one made over 230 million dollars. Rarely any movies have dropped that much from their previous predeccessor unless you count Jaws and Exorcist. If anything should be up in the air it would be Fantastic Four since its up against WOW and its costuming looks rather cheesy

I am sure it will make 100m.

Ring 2 only a good chance at $100 million? It's one of the most popular movies of the last 10 years.

Directors quitting, the original director not returning, and delayed production. Those usually spell a bad sign for the quality of the movie

Stranger things have happened...

I think it will open to $47 million, then drop 50% in its second weekend, but easily pass $100 million if not $150 million.
