AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER (Dec. 3)
Theatrical gross $212 million
Why fans will buy it To see their old pals Fat Bastard, Dr. Evil, and Mini-Me
Why they might not The title character wasn't funny at all; the film's aggressively of-the-moment pop culture references may already feel old.
Bonus features include A DVD-ROM function will let you dub your own voice over selected scenes. The movie will be enhanced by special pop-up menus that link to documentaries and other extras.
Expert prediction Fans who own the first two ''Austin''s will snap up this one as well, resulting in over 7 million copies sold, says Hettrick.

MINORITY REPORT (Dec. 17)
Theatrical gross $132 million
Why fans will buy it It's Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg's first collaboration, and the movie's smart sci-fi intersects nicely with the DVD demographic.
Why they might not Despite the star power, ''Report'''s box office take wasn't all that triumphant -- and its relatively complex themes seemed to overwhelm some viewers.
Bonus features include Numerous behind-the-scenes documentaries, including a look at the think tank Spielberg assembled to imagine the movie's future.
Expert prediction Tom Cruise's fans will help push this baby to around 7 million, according to Hettrick.

LILO & STITCH (Dec. 3)
Theatrical gross $144 million
Why fans will buy it The sweet-hearted cartoon hooked a pint-size generation on Elvis Presley and helped forge a cooler direction for Disney.
Why they might not There's not as much here for grown-ups as there is in ''Ice Age.''
Bonus features include Three deleted scenes and the movie's hilarious trailers (in which Stitch barges in on past Disney films)
Expert prediction Like ''Ice Age,'' ''Lilo'' should see around 11 million sold, including VHS copies, Hettrick says.

XXX (Dec. 31)
Theatrical gross $141 million
Why fans will buy it Some accept Vin Diesel as the ''extreme'' version of Ah-nuld or Sly.
Why they might not Many critics said ''XXX'' was just extremely bad.
Bonus features include Deleted scenes, a making-of documentary, and a Gavin Rossdale music video
Expert prediction ''The Fast and the Furious'' sold about 7 million DVDs; ''XXX'' should do the same, Hettrick says.
