‘The Social Reckoning’ is projected to earn $5.5 million in its opening weekend
Aaron Sorkin’s new film, “The Social Reckoning,” is projected to earn $5.5 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend.
That is below the studio’s projection of $7 million to $8 million.
The film follows whistleblower Frances Haugen’s decision to leak documents that became known as the Facebook files.
It is a sequel to “The Social Network,” which opened with $22 million domestically in 2010 and later earned $97 million there.
The new film’s weaker start comes as theaters face a different landscape and the movie has received poor reviews.
Its performance may offer a clue about audience interest in films about real-world technology leaders.
Another tech-focused film, the documentary “Musk,” is expected to expand to more theaters in the coming weeks.
The Social Reckoning is projected to earn $5.5 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend.
That estimate is below the studio’s projection of $7 million to $8 million.
The film is Aaron Sorkin’s follow-up to The Social Network and focuses on whistleblower Frances Haugen’s decision to leak the Facebook files.
The Social Network opened to $22 million domestically and later made $97 million in total domestic box office.
