There's a much better chance of $350-400M for Star Wars then King Kong topping Star Wars for the year. :razz:

Judging from the disappointment that many expressed with the first two, I'd say that your prediction is way too high! This flick would have to pull out many rabbits from the majick tophat. I think it will make a good 30-to-70 mill under your prediction.

Oops, mine list isn't necessarily in highest to lowest grossing order. What can I say? I'm a rebel at times..lol
My list was just basically about the top grossers of the year..not in any order.
I still say that that prediction is far too high, but what do I really know. I haven't even seen the first two. I just go by my gut feeling, and it's never let me down before.
