It may not have earned as much as Ang Lee’s original 2003 attempt at the adaptation, but, as predicted, Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk, starring Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, William Hurt and Tim Roth, rose to the top of the box office this weekend, taking in an estimated $54.5 million.
The weekend’s other big opening, M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening, starring Mark Wahlberg, John Leguizamo and Zooey Deschanel, performed better than expected with $30.5 million, earning the number three spot, while the family-friendly animated flick Kung Fu Fanda, featuring the voices of Jack Black and Angelina Jolie, held strong in second place with more than $34 million in receipts.
With Steve Carell’s Get Smart and Mike Myers’ The Love Guru releasing this weekend, will The Incredible Hulk continue to see green next weekend? Find out on Monday’s Top of the Box Office report.
