The Incredible Hulk triumphs at the box office this weekend, generating just over $54 million! According to estimates, The Happening, which has received a lot of bad publicity, has been kicked out of the top 2 spots by DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda. Except for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it seems like the movies coming out aren't good enough to stay in the top 5 for more than 2 weeks.
