The movie about a Facebook whistleblower who leaked incriminating details disappoints, and ‘The Social Reckoning’ will likely lag ‘The Social Network’
“The Social Reckoning” earned an estimated $5.5 million from 2,606 North American theaters.
Jessica Chastain's horror film "Other Mommy" topped the North American box office this weekend, earning $27.5 million in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates. The supernatural creature thriller, distributed by Universal Pictures, received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences, holding a D+ CinemaScore. The movie's production budget was around $19 million and it opened in 50 international markets, boosting its global debut to $45.2 million.
The audience demographic was evenly split by gender, with about 2/3 of the audience aged between 18 and 34. In contrast, Sony Pictures' "The Social Reckoning," directed by Aaron Sorkin, opened to a lackluster $5.5 million, marking a significant drop from Sorkin's previous blockbuster, "The Social Network," which opened to over $22 million in 2009.
