Alien vs. Predator - Headcanon Timeline

There's a lot of random easter eggs like that, so it might be a bit strange picking and choosing such things. Perhaps we should create a list of all connections and see which ones can fit or be cut off.
 
A random and useless detail that works in favour of a connection is the term "skinjob" in Terminator: Genisys.
 
Interesting fact about the Firefly connection. The Weyland-Yutani logo appears on the screen of the UA 571-D Ground Sentry. The name is a reference to the UA 571-C Automated Sentry Gun from Aliens. That makes it a little more thought out than just the logo.
 
Ignoring Terminator, Robocop and Buffy (too much to list) for simplicity, this is what I came up with.

What are the connections? Executive Decision, Independence Day, I Robot, Event Horizon
 
What are the connections? Executive Decision, Independence Day, I Robot, Event Horizon
Executive Decision
Wreckage of the F-117X Remora appears in Soldier.

Independence Day
A skull of a Harvester appears in Predator: Badlands.

I, Robot
In a flashback, a robot is seen with a Weyland-Yutani logo. (Technically they shouldn't exist yet)

Event Horizon
Wreckage of the Lewis and Clark appears in Soldier. (I suppose taken back in time)
 
One more question why is Beyond Anarchy set 10 years after the 2008 film instead of 5 years like in the previous version of this timeline?
 
Did you get them from this video?

Yes. Honestly, the 2000 and 2050 film should be canon to the 2008 continuity since the original Frankenstein appears in a voice over and Anderson said that his film was a prequel (well, it isn't... but, uh, close enough).

One more question why is Beyond Anarchy set 10 years after the 2008 film instead of 5 years like in the previous version of this timeline?
Release dates.
 
Could Beyond Anarchy technically be set in 2032 considering the 5 year window between 3 and 4?
 
Although according to Wikipedia it says that Death Race 2008 is set in 2020 so which one is it then
