    Hulk Missed Beating Get Smart By... Well, By A Lot, Actually

    Remember how we said Incredible Hulk had to pull in an impressive second weekend box office to be considered a hit? And how the Hulk movie really had to beat Get Smart? Well, get in the lotus position and stare at a metronome — we've got some upsetting news. Get Smart pulverized TIH at the box-office, taking in $39 million to Hulk's $21 million. And preliminary estimates show Hulk scoring a roughly 62 percent drop-off from its first weekend, nearly as bad as Ang Lee's Hulk. The movie is close to making $100 million, and it'll probably do well on DVD. But the prospects of a second Incredible helping are dimming. Update: Now people are speculating Incredible Hulk's performance may actually hurt Marvel's stock.
