"try to figure out what movie has a chance of breaking the #1 sales figure next"
New releases always do better sales wise, but I'd bet that either Lord of The Rings or Star Wars would be big sellers. As far as planned releases on Blu-ray, I have no idea.
You know, I don't think those movies even have a chance...being catalog titles, they won't draw the first-week crowds that new releases do. Also, many people have spent so much money buying Lord of the Rings and Star Wars multiple editions that they may hesitate to upgrade again.
I don't think catalog titles can touch this number - it'll take a new release. The only title I think has a chance is Terminator:Salvation when it comes out on Blu-ray around next Christmas.
In their lifetime I expect that titles like Star Wars, Godfather, Lord of the Rings will sell far in excess of a million copies each. They may or may not top the chart when they are (re)released, but they sell strongly for a very long time which is why the studios love them so much.

Only movie that might come close in the next year is the watchmen
