Hulk smashed

Although hulk did not hit my proposed question to numbers of surpassing the 59 million dollar mark it came quite close to doing so. This version of the hulk beat out expectations by far, however for us enthusiast and insiders we felt that it would have done far better than it has done. Plus now I can visualize Eric Bana laughing at the studio for not recasting him.

So this is what I have to do now. I have to sit and watch this films progression for the next few weeks to see what take place. I suspect after the buzz gets out that we will see a decent if not significant spike in the weekly numbers. Which will most likely will be due to all those out of work High school kids.

We will see. I have my fingers crossed on this one.

*Side note : I went to see the film and I was blown away with the special effects and the acting was far better than the last version. Although they can step up the story in a few areas, if this get green lighted for a sequel. I think that is a strong possibility.

This is a pot of Gold if Marvel can hang on and make it happen. My advice is once the numbers hit profit negotiations should begin.

Here is what the experts have to say:

Will 'The Incredible Hulk' smash the 59 million mark?

I have a huge feeling that hulk will take out the box office this weekend with no stutter. With all the hype behind it and the rage from within the green giant that slings cars instead of peas. I am sure that this turn around Marvel will have people talking and we will see a spike in his box office take over Saturday and Sunday.

Instead of a declining take in, the tickets will be flying out of the printer and into the hands of those who had the opportunity to see Iron Man. With Robert Downey Jr. taken up space on the screen we are sure to see some closet fans of the Marvel movies to sneak out and take a look.

So I challenge the idea over at EW. I think that Hulk will smash past the 59 million dollar mark. Does anyone care to second that?

***Update Box office Mojo is estimating a $54,000,000 take at the box office for this weekend. So I would give or take a few million. I still stand to say that you should give on this one.

I will be back on this.

The red carpet premier:

Hulk will bust down doors to the bank in your pockets

You guys must imagine this one. I am sitting down roaming through the internet as usual and I come across something that blows my mind when it comes to art or something like it. It is a poster that takes the cake of all promotion posters. I can’t remember the last time I cam across a promotional poster that seemed for a safe choice of words, almost out of this world.

So what is my hype about? Hulk dammit! There is nothing else in the world to concern ourselves with. Except getting in shape, but as for pure entertainment it is set. All we need to worry about is getting in shape and taking on the world as we see fit (no pun intended), will be the mission in order not to leave the cinema feeling inadequate in any way to the hulk and what he has to offer us.

Do not pay attention to the NYTIMES on this one. We are sure to find many things about the last film as unimpressive however MARVEL has recovered and will strike back. I put my money on it. If I come up wrong I will give away an old pair of my underwear. If that does not sound like a good bet then go ear paper and see me after watching the film.

Trailer ::: "The Incredible Hulk"

The is not a remake but an entirely new saga for the Hulk. Sorry Erick Bana, But this one is for Ed Norton! The Incredible hulk is heading to movie houses across the country this summer. June 19th, 2008, to be exact! From this trailer it look like David Banner is up to par and this hulk look less like CGI in the earlier millennium version with Erick Bana, which was not a bad movie, but rushed and unpolished.

Ed Norton attended the San Diego Comic Convention in 2007 with his Director and a few questions were asked about the direction the film will be taking. When asked by a member of the audience whether they were using the comic books or the television show for inspiration, both Ed Norton and director Louis Leterrier responded at length.

"I don't always just want them to race through that origin and get onto the story because it seems like obligatory, like you're hustling through it. So one of the first things we talked about was let's grapple with what our own version of the history in this story is, but spool it out and artful way throughout the story. I certainly wouldn't say this film is rooted in the television show at all. The fun in this was not to remake anything, but to just 'spin our own sort of fantasy' between the interface of all these things. Many characters have nothing to do with the television show but are deeply rooted in the comics…"
