As important as some of the messages in The Social Reckoning<\/a><\/em> are, the movie has been drastically underperforming at the box office. Per Variety<\/em><\/a>, Aaron\u2019s Sorkin\u2019s follow up to The Social Network<\/em> only grossed a measly $5.5 million this past weekend against a budget that\u2019s somewhere within the $30\u201342 million range. That would make it a certifiable flop that\u2019s costing Columbia Pictures (and Sony) quite a bit of money \u2014 especially when you compare it to The Social Network<\/em>\u2019s $22 million opening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This isn\u2019t entirely surprising given how middling reviews for the film have been. It\u2019s currently got a 55% rating on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> and has widely been trashed on social media. All of this might be reflective of audiences hoping for a proper sequel to The Social Network<\/em>, which won three Oscars for its screenplay (written by Sorkin), editing, and score. But it might speak to people not fully clicking with Mikey Madison\u2019s performance as whistleblower Frances Haugen<\/a> or Jeremy Allen White\u2019s turn as Wall Street Journal <\/em>reporter Jeff Horwitz. (Madison, for her part, indicated to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em> that it was Sorkin\u2019s vision as director that kept from \u201cauthentically and faithfully represent[ing] a real person,\u201d which she hopes to do in the future.) It also probably didn\u2019t help that Jesse Eisenberg \u2014 who portrayed Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network<\/em> \u2014 had no interest<\/a> in being in the film, according to Sorkin himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ironically, Blumhouse\u2019s Other Mommy<\/em> raked in an impressive $27.5 million this weekend, which likely suggests that people are more interested in novel horror<\/a> as opposed to reminders of how social media has made everyone\u2019s lives worse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
