The Social Reckoning Eyes $8M-$13M Opening Weekend
Box Office Theory projects The Social Reckoning will earn $8M-$13M domestically in its opening weekend before hitting theaters on October 9, 2026.
The Social Reckoning is tracking for a domestic opening weekend between $8 million and $13 million, according to projections from Box Office Theory. The film is set to hit theaters on October 9, 2026.
That range would put the film well below the debut of its predecessor. In 2010, The Social Network opened to $22.4 million and went on to gross $225 million worldwide.
Aaron Sorkin wrote and directed The Social Reckoning as a companion piece to The Social Network. The new film stars Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg, taking over from Jesse Eisenberg, who declined to return. David Fincher, who directed the 2010 original, is not involved in the new project.
The cast also includes Mikey Madison, who won an Oscar for Anora and turned down a role in Star Wars: Starfighter to star in this film, and Jeremy Allen White, who is coming off a five-season run on The Bear.
The box office landscape has shifted dramatically since The Social Network's release. In 2020, the pandemic shut down movie theaters and they never fully recovered. Sorkin's last directorial effort, Molly's Game, made just $59 million globally against a $30 million budget.
