“The Incredible Hulk” had a great opening weekend - raking in $54.5 million at the box office and besting Kung Fu Panda (at number 2) and The Happening (number 3).

Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers commented on the weekend opening, saying “The [Incredible] Hulk got a second chance, got angry and came back with a vengeance. This was a big question mark going in. The film had a history or a checkered past.”

Of course, he’s referring to Ang Lee’s 2003 take on the green one: “Hulk,” which opened with a $62.1 million weekend, but quickly lost momentum.
