The Social Reckoning is the latest Hollywood release, hitting screens today only. The film is the sequel to The Social Network and comes 1.5 decades later. The latest film is tracking to earn far less than the original film’s opening weekend, but it reportedly has a modest production cost as well. Therefore, we are calculating the film’s break-even target ahead of its opening weekend. Keep scrolling for the deets.
The movie by Aaron Sorkin stars Academy Award winner Mikey Madison in the leading role, alongside Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong, Bill Burr, Betty Gilpin, and Billy Magnussen in key roles. It received an average rating on the aggregate site, but the audience ratings will be revealed over the weekend.
According to reports, The Social Reckoning is tracking to earn modest numbers in its opening weekend. It will not even be close to The Social Network’s debut-weekend box-office total. The Mikey Madison starrer is tracking to earn between $7 million and $8 million in its opening weekend at the North American box office. The prequel released in 2010 collected $22 million in its opening weekend at the domestic box office.

The latest report by Variety reveals Sony spent a modest $30 million to produce The Social Reckoning. According to the industry’s 2.5x rule, the Mikey Madison starrer movie should earn an estimated $75 million at the box office to break even. Therefore, the film would have to earn less than $100 million to become profitable. Even if it did not perform as well as the predecessor, the sequel will not be a massive disaster.
The film follows Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), a young Facebook engineer who teams up with Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White) to expose the social media giant’s closely guarded secrets. As their investigation deepens, the duo embarks on a dangerous journey that threatens to shake the company to its core. Serving as a companion piece to the hit film The Social Network, Aaron Sorkin’s original screenplay is based on the true story of the whistleblower who helped uncover the inner workings of one of the world’s most powerful social media platforms. The Social Reckoning was released on October 9, and you can check out our review here.
