The Social Reckoning Opens to $5.5M
Summary
Aaron Sorkin returned to the world of The Social Network, but audiences didn't follow. The Social Reckoning opened to just $5.5 million domestically.
Sony's The Social Reckoning struggled during its opening weekend despite Sorkin's return and the connection to one of the most acclaimed films of the last two decades. The film debuted with approximately $5.5 million domestically while horror release Other Mommy took the weekend with $27.5 million. The result continues a difficult stretch for prestige-oriented studio films trying to turn critical interest and recognizable filmmakers into theatrical success.
