The Social Reckoning Projected to Fall 69% in Second Weekend

Sony Pictures Entertainment projects that The Social Reckoning will earn a 3-day domestic total of $1.55 million in its second weekend, according to figures reported by screenrant.com. That would mark a 69% decline from the film's opening weekend.

The film, directed by Aaron Sorkin, opened domestically with $5 million in its debut weekend. It stars Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg, Mikey Madison as the whistleblower Frances Haugen and Jeremy Allen White as Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz.

Reviews have been mixed. The Social Reckoning holds a 55% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 72% audience score on the Popcornmeter, along with a CinemaScore of B-.

The drop is steeper than that of The Social Network, the 2010 film about the founding of Facebook. That movie debuted with $22.4 million domestically in 2010 and earned $15.4 million in its second weekend, a 31.2% fall, before finishing its run with $224.9 million worldwide, the 32nd highest-grossing release of 2010.

The Social Reckoning reportedly cost between $30 million and $42 million. In the wider marketplace, the Tom Cruise film Digger debuted with $8 million the weekend before and fell 60% in its second weekend, slipping from No. 4 to No. 8 domestically; Digger reportedly cost $125 million or more and is expected to lose about $200 million by the end of its run.
