— -- If you doubt that media companies can profit from going green, look at what's in store for 2008.

At least that's what some of Wall Street's sharpest media analysts say.

But if you think that's hot air and just another source of global warming, make your own predictions in the 12th Annual USA TODAY Media Prognostication Contest.

The contest is open to all in three categories: readers, industry players (such as executives, consultants, journalists and stars) and Wall Streeters.

You must enter online at money.usatoday.com or by mail by Jan. 31.

The questions:

1) What is your category (reader, industry insider, Wall Streeter) and your age (optional)?

2) Which film will have the biggest box office sales in its opening three-day weekend?

3) Which animated film will open biggest?

a) Bolt (Disney); b) Horton Hears a Who (Fox); c) Kung Fu Panda (DreamWorks); d) Madagascar: The Crate Escape (DreamWorks); e) WALL-E (Disney/Pixar).

4) Popular tours by The Police, Genesis, Justin Timberlake and Kenny Chesney did not keep total spending on concerts in North America from falling 10.2% to $2.6 billion in 2007, according to Billboard. The 2008 total will be:

a) Down another 10% or more; b) Down less than 10%; c) Flat to up at least 10%; d) Up more than 10%.
