I saw 95% (19/20) of the 2008 hits in theaters.
Only one I didn't see was Sex and the City.

I rarely go to the theater anymore and I'm very selective on what little I do see.

I saw 3:
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I viewed the others by "alternative" means, but I spend so much money on DVDs, I figure me and the movie industry are even.

Like someone else said, the only one I wish I had seen on that list that I didn't was Gran Torino.
And for the record, I chose to see Speed Racer over Iron Man in theaters. Watched Iron Man on Blu-ray when it was released. I enjoyed it, but I totally made the right decision during theatrical run to see Speed Racer instead.

Wall-E, Kung-Fu Panda and The Dark Knight.
I didn't notice that Wanted made enough to be in the top twenty.

I saw Iron Man in the theater and loved it.
Saw Dark Knight via XBLM and .....didn't like it.
That's it from the list. Most of those I would never even consider watching.
I do have Wall-E coming from Netflix though.

Thanks to free tickets at various retailers, I see pretty much everything.
95% for me. Only skipped Madagascar 2 because I've yet to see the original.

Don't go to theaters any more unless something really catches my eye, so I just saw Gran Torino (well worth it) for a 5%.

On the list (30%):
The Dark Knight
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
WALL-E
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Wanted
Marley & Me
Others:
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Leatherheads
Zack & Miri Make a Porno
Bolt
Transporter 3

I probably saw more in the theater this year than I have in years.

Re: Did You Contribute? — How many of 2008's hits did you see in theaters?
I usually get in the habit of either making sure I see stuff in theaters or waiting until everything is on DVD. I feel like the latter will happen this year, only because I had a weak fall and missed a lot of the Oscar contenders so I have a pretty good backlog: Milk, Button, Doubt, Bashir, The Class, etc.
