I'm dreadful at these but here goes for predictions:
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Rashomon
Summer with Monika
The Gold Rush
The Soft Skin
Jaglom Eclipse
I'm also joking about one of these.

Being John Malkovich is a sure thing per the Facebook page, so you're missing one.

I don't think there will be any surprises today, so I'm guessing:
Being John Malkovich
The Gold Rush
Summer with Monika
Wild Strawberries
Robert Downey Sr. Eclipse set

Thanks. I knew I was missing an obvious one.

I hope we'll get Y tu mama tambien today. I've been waiting for that announcement for some 18 months now.

I wonder if we won't get a few more Blu upgrades today, since those have been coming at a slower pace the last few months. Won't surprise me if we see a Chaplin, Malkovich, Monika, an Eclipse and then 3 upgrades on top of that.

The Naked Prey would be my ultimate out of left field Blu upgrade.

The Gold Rush
Summer with Monika
Being John Malkovich
Rashomon
Children of Paradise
The Spirit of the Beehive
I'm not any good at guessing upgrades but those three have had new restorations and/or been released elsewhere.

Wonder how long it will take them to re-do the BRD Trilogy...
Just a few titles I'd really like to see upgraded sooner rather than later: In The Mood for Love, L'Eclisse, L'Aaventura, Umbrellas of Cherbourg. The rest I'm just going with the flow, upgrade-wise.
Oh, and Tin Drum. I figured that once I break down and get the Arrow set, Criterion will announce it the very next cycle (so this is one that will not be announced this time around!).

Perhaps they'll announce a physical release of Le Havre

Since we know we're getting Being John Malkovich in May I suspect The Gold Rush will be June. They rarely put two Newsletter clue titles out the same month.
My (mostly random) guesses:
Being John Malkovich
Summer with Monika
Madadayo
Wild Strawberries BD upgrade
M. Hulot's Holiday BD upgrade
Henry V BD upgrade
Hamlet BD upgrade

none, they extended yesterday's sale, but I bet they don't want the May titles eligible while the sale is still active today.

Pre-orders aren't eligible anyway.

As far as upgrades go, there are a few of the first 50 films Criterion released that are still in print that haven't been upgraded.
Those are:
The Samurai Trilogy which was maybe hinted at in the New Year's drawing.
Summertime
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Great Expectations and Oliver Twist - these are possible since Dickens 200th birthday was last week
Nanook of the North - there was already a clue for this, yes?
Andrei Rublev (please let this happen so people will stop asking for it)
Henry V
Fishing with John
Lord of the Flies
Taste of Cherry
The Most Dangerous Game
Insomnia
And the Ship Sails On
Surely some these will be next up for the ol' upgrade, yes?

TCM-HD did broadcast a better print of "And The Ship Sails On" than the Criterion dvd version so i hope that is good sigh for a re-release of that film.

And there's a good HD master in France for And The Ship Sails On... so that raises its chances a bit.
There wasn't a clue for Nanook of the North, the image posted turned out to be from Letter Never Sent.
Man, would I like Taste of Cherry on Blu, the same month as the Koker Tril...
