Aaron Sorkin’s Social Reckoning opens to weak domestic box office
Aaron Sorkin's film The Social Reckoning is projected to earn $5.5 million domestically this weekend.
Opening numbers fall short of projections
Sunday estimates place the domestic box office total at $5.5 million for the opening weekend. This figure is below the studio's earlier projection of between $7 million and $8 million. The result suggests the movie will not match the financial success of its predecessor.
Comparison to previous social media film
The earlier film The Social Network made a total of $97 million domestically at 2010 ticket prices. That first movie also won Sorkin an Oscar and became one of the most influential depictions of Silicon Valley culture. The new release is unlikely to become a hit of that same size.
Context for fall tech CEO movies
This weekend's performance could offer hints about audience excitement for upcoming films starring real-world tech CEOs. Other releases include the documentary Musk and Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything. Netflix also plans to release a series about Sam Bankman-Fried in November.
