HULK INCREDIBLE!!!

The Hulk was a monster at the box office in its debut weekend, with the comic-book adaptation taking in a June opening record of $62.6 million.

The flick took over the top box-office spot from the animated fish tale Finding Nemo, which slipped to second place with a weekend take of $20.5 million.

The weekend's other new wide releases opened quietly. Rob Reiner's romantic comedy Alex & Emma, starring Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson, debuted at No. 7 with $6.2 million. From Justin to Kelly, a romance starring American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson and runner-up Justin Guarini, opened at No. 11 with only $2.9 million.

The Hulk had the highest gross ever for a June opening, surpassing the previous record of $54.9 million for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. But taking today's higher admission prices into account, Austin Powers sold slightly more tickets in its opening weekend than The Hulk.

Despite the June record, revenue for The Hulk came in well below that of last month's Marvel Comics adaptation, X2: X-Men United, which grossed $85.6 million in its opening weekend.
