The Social Reckoning Box Office: Less Than $1M In Previews Raises Questions About Its Opening Weekend

The Social Reckoning’s perils continue at the box office, as it records poor numbers in Thursday previews in North America. The biographical drama thriller is expected to underperform at the box office compared to its predecessor. The Mikey Madison starrer will have a disappointing opening and barely manage a spot in the domestic top 5. Keep scrolling for the deets.

It has received better ratings than Other Mommy, which is also releasing this weekend. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has received 56% from critics. Their collective consensus states, “An urgent warning that feels like it’s arriving a little too late, Aaron Sorkin’s spiritual sequel to one of his crowning achievements is a worthwhile critique of social media’s omnipresence that nonetheless pales in comparison to its predecessor.”

According to reports, The Social Reckoning has not even earned $1 million from the Thursday previews. Based on the latest report by Deadline, the Mikey Madison starrer movie collected just $650k at the North American box office from the Thursday previews. It is troubling for the film’s opening weekend, which is already quite pessimistic.
