Here are my thoughts:
1. Pirates 3 $370+ million
2. Spiderman 3 $350+ million
3. Shrek 3 $320 million
4. Harry Potter 5 $260 million
5. Ratatouille $255 million
6. Transformers $200 million
7. Evan Almighty $180 million?
8. Bourne 3 $150 million
9. Fantastic Four 2 $120 million
10. Die Hard 4 $100 million

I don't think Transformers is going to be that huge even with all the hype.

1. Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End - 144/485
2. Spider-Man 3 - 141/415
3. Shrek 3 - 106/370
4. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 118/335
5. Ratatouille 77/305
6.Transformers 95/245
7. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer 85.5/225
8. The Bourne Ultimatum 70/220
9. Evan Almighty 45/165
10. The Simpsons Movie 45/160
11. Ocean's 13 42.5/141
12. Knocked Up 30/135
13. Live Free or Die Hard 32.5/116

And if I were to list the films in the order that I'm most excited to see, it would look like this.

1. Pirates-Well it's Pirates
2. Bourne-The first two are great. The reason why we got a better Bond film
3. Spidey-Bad reviews or not I want to see Venom
4. Harry Potter-Probably my favorite book of the series.
5. The Simpsons-One of the five greatest tv shows ever, very excited.
6. Ratatouille-Pixar can do no wrong in my book
7. Knocked Up-Looks really funny
8. Transformers-Could be really good or really bad
9. Die Hard-A series I've enjoyed but the PG-13 worries me.
10. Fantastic Four-The first one was good but the FF don't really do much for me.
11. Ocean's-Hopefully more like the first than the second
12. Evan Almighty-I love Steve Carrell but I don't know about this.
13. Shrek-Aren't they just repeating the same joke again?

I'll see Shrek but I'm honestly kind of tired of it. I was never a big Shrek fan anyway, but I know my son will want to see it.

I'm not going to make a box office prediction list, but here's my list of movie's I'm most looking forward to:

1. Pirates - Yo ho, Yo ho, I'm there!
2. Spider-Man - Have to see the 3rd, loved the first two.
3. Harry Potter - Big fan of the books, can't wait.
4. Die Hard 4 - Yes, this is my 4th pick, John McClane rocks!
5. Transformers - Something about those live action robots, just looks awesome. Hope it isn't a bomb.
6. Even Almighty - Bruce was hilarious.
7. Ratatouille - Can't go wrong with Pixar.
8. The Simpsons - My son can't wait.
9. Fantastic Four - Hope it's better than the first one.
10. Good Luck Chuck - Dane Cook can be hilarious, and Jessica Alba is gorgeous.
11. Shrek - Feel obligated to see it.
