I'd be surprised if Spidey 2 earned over $350 mil, but it'll definitely top the $250 million mark. 'Prisoner of Azkaban' will no doubt do enormous business as well, especially overseas (the previous two 'Potter' movies both topped the $600 million mark internationally). Though, I wouldn't be at all shocked if neither ended up as the year's biggest hit.

2004 promises to be a big year for CG animated movies as "The Incredibles", "The Polar Express", "Shark Tale", and "Shrek 2" all battle for box office supremacy. All four will probably be gigantic hits, but the battle for #1 may come down between Disney/Pixar's "The Incredibles" and WB's "The Polar Express".

Many expected 2003 to top the $9.37 billion record of 2002, but that didn't happen as 2003 saw declines in overall admissions as ticket saw another hike in prices.
2003 ended up with a still impressive mark of $9.27 billion, making it the second biggest grossing year ever for the studios at the box office. It's too early to gauge how big 2004 will be, but expect another $9 billion year at the box office.

By the way, thanks for starting the thread Tino. I was hoping someone would get around to starting a 2004 thread. I'd rather post in a thread than start one. Too much pressure.
