"The Incredible Hulk" debuted as the top weekend movie with $55.4 million across North America, smashing M. Night Shyamalan’s "The Happening" and "Kung Fu Panda".
After Marvel Studio’s previous box office success with "Iron Man", audiences especially the young viewers were eager to see what Edward Norton would do with his green beast of a character.
"The Incredible Hulk" has now become the second film produced by the company to open at No. 1.

Kung Fu Panda owns Adam Sandler’s You Don’t Mess With the Zohan as it earned an impressive $60 million during the opening weekend over Adam Sandler’s flick which earned just over $40 million.
For Kung Fu Panda, that blockbuster $60 mil opening ranked No. 9 on the all-time list of animated premieres, and it was the best yet for a non-sequel from DreamWorks Animation (only Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third banked more on their first weekends). It was almost parallel with the $60.1 mil that Pixar’s Cars bowed with on this weekend a couple of years ago.

“Speed Racer” ends up with a disappointing $20.2 million in ticket sales this weekend. Meanwhile, “Iron Man” blasted its rivals in its second weekend at the top of the charts with $50.5 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates.
Made by the Wachowski brothers, best known for the “Matrix” franchise, the kaleidoscopic “Speed Racer” is unlikely to recoup its $120 million budget, experts said.
“Unfortunately, it didn’t perform to our expectations,” said Dan Fellman, president of Warner Bros. theatrical distribution.
Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr., opened last weekend with $100.8 million, the second-highest opening ever for a non sequel since Spider-Man debuted in 2002.

The Dark Knight is a remarkably brilliant piece of work by Christopher Nolan. Every scene is brilliant. Every plot is thrilling. Every move by the Joker is insane. Heath Ledger is exceptional, so is the rest of the casts. Can't wait for the next sequel cause The Dark Knight has simply carved a smile on my face.

Journey to the Center of the Earth is a 3D movie which is somewhat disappointing. Watch it in a 3D theater or don't watch it at all.

Hellboy II is so visually stunning that sometimes it may seem that Hellboy is just a sidekick in the movie. Lacks of the action scenes we have seen in the first Hellboy movie.
