Upon its release in June 2003, Hulk was met with a polarized response. Critics were split, with many praising the film's ambitious narrative and the cast's performances, particularly Bana, Connelly, and Nolte, while others criticized its slow pace and lengthy runtime. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a middling score, reflecting its divisive nature. This lukewarm critical reception translated into a disappointing second week at the box office; after a strong $62 million opening weekend, ticket sales plummeted by 75–80%, one of the largest second-week drops in history at that time. Despite this, the film earned $245 million worldwide. This underperformance relative to its $137 million budget led many to label it a financial disappointment, a sentiment that would persist for years.
