One question regarding the Scottish BBC sitcom 'Still Game' if you are aware of it that is. With British comics getting more attention in the States a lot more, will 'Still Game' get package off as one of the Brit-Com series sent off to be broadcast on PBS much like with the rest of BBC's output in America at this time just before BBC America is launched.
Would be interesting to see what some claim to be Scotland's best sitcom making some waves across the pond, giving how these recent reaction videos from America about the show seem to go well then it makes me wonder how well it would do well here?

1: I'm sorry, but unless something major happens to cancel The Cat in the Hat out, Universal probably should be up for sale by New Years Day.
2: On the bright side, Robert Zemeckis's new digs are looking nicer than ever.
3: With a news article like that in this edition's Variety speak, I think Seuss's widow would not want any movie adaptations of his works, and the TV show format might be on thin ice as well.
4: Oh, man. This won't be good.

Great! To @OldNavy1988 , we'll have the movies of December 2003! Next month, Columbia Pictures' The Last Samurai and Disney's live-action Peter Pan and Cheaper by the Dozen remakes will go head-to-head against New Line Cinema's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Notes
The final installment of the LOTR trilogy is now New Line's biggest grossing title under Saban's ownership. It is also the third film to gross $1 billion USD worldwide in the last eighteen months, the other two being Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
I would assume finding nemo unless pixar wants to hire Bryan Singer for a movie
@OldNavy1988, bravo with the 3rd Lord of the Rings installment. We will get films of the month competing against the final LOTR installment, like Disney's Peter Pan remake that starred Jeremy Sumpter, and another Disney-produced remake, Cheaper by the Dozen, that starred Steve Martin.

I would have the lion the witch and the wardrobe be distributed by Warner bros
This is a lot of movies to go off of!
What about the animated features for Disney? I mean, there's still Blue Sky's Robots and the latest Walt Disney Feature Animation movies to consider.
I can see Yu-Gi-Oh!: Pyramid of Light as a July 2004 film, Batman: Year One can be an October release, and the other three films can get premieres in 2005 or beyond.
What's with Andy needs to be released in 2005.
I nominate PvX for a 2005 debut, while Speed Racer comes out in 2006.
Are there any more RKO projects in the future? Or has NBC and MWS taken up the forefront in recent years?
F&F3 could be another Fall 2004 release, and I would probably release the Blue Beetle movie in February or March 2005, just to get it over with in a month that wouldn't spell disaster.
There seems to be a stacked year in 2004, so let's delay this film to 2005 or later.
Can Spiderwick release in 2005? Barring that, is Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed still on the pipeline, or has that already happened beforehand?
Casino Royale could get a Winter 2005 debut.
I really hope Saw does well for Lionsgate, because outside of a Monster Rancher movie, I don't see many bankable IPs from their assets box.
Shrek 2 for Spring, Anchorman for Summer, Shark Tale for Fall, and Madagascar for the following Summer. It's simple mathematics.
Maybe Thundercats can be a 2006 film?
If most of these are for 2004, allow me to help you out:
