Critics, per Wikipedia

As of October 25, 2026, The Social Reckoning has grossed $9 million in the United States and Canada, and $8 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $17 million. The film will reportedly lose Sony a few million dollars, after all ancillaries. In the United States and Canada, the film debuted to $5 million from 2,606 theaters, finishing in fifth place. The opening was notably less than the The Social Network's $22 million in October 2010, which was attributed in-part to Hurricane Isaias making landfall in the Gulf region, as well as the decreased public interest in social media than a decade earlier. In its second weekend the film made $1.4 million (dropping 73%), finishing…

    The problem with making a sequel to The Social Network—a movie that was inarguably at the mainstream core of a lot of the first wave of anti-Facebook movement—and calling it "The Social Reckoning" is that we all know what happened and there has been no such reckoning at all.

This film, "The Social Reckoning" is written by Aaron Sorkin as well as being directed by Aaron Sorkin. Can Aaron Sorkin write and direct a good film?
