'The Incredible Hulk' roared into first place in the weekend box office with an estimated $54.5 million, studio estimates showed.
The $150 million action flick, a collaboration between Marvel Studios and Universal Pictures, stars EDWARD NORTON as scientist Bruce Banner, who desperately hunts for a cure to gamma radiation that poisons his cells and transforms him into a rage-filled muscular green monster.
DreamWorks' light-hearted animated flick 'Kung Fu Panda,' backed by the voices of heavyweights ANGELINA JOLIE, JACK BLACK and DUSTIN HOFFMAN, kicked its competition to the curb in the weekend box office, earning an estimated $60 million.
The family-oriented comedy, which follows a panda named Po as he pursues his dream of becoming a Kung Fu master, easily beat industry forecasts for its first three days, studio estimates showed.

'Sex and the City' topped the box office this weekend, making $55.7 million and pushing blockbuster 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,' into second place, studio estimates showed.
The long-awaited Warner Bros. romantic comedy beat predictions by at least $30 million and studio estimates said theater audiences were comprised of about 85 percent women.
'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' took in an estimated $311 million worldwide during the Memorial Day holiday weekend, according to studio projections. This included $151.1 million from the United States and Canada and $160
million from launches across the globe, Paramount Pictures said.
The debut was the second biggest Memorial Day opening in history, behind 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End,' which took in $153 million domestically during the same holiday period last year.
In April we asked you to "Give Us Your Best Indy" -- and boy, did you deliver!
