Facebook has proven to be a moneymaker and the movie is no different. Picking up the story of the site creation by Mark Zuckerberg and his friends, "The Social Network" wins the attention of moviegoers, making it nab the first place at North American Box Office in its first week with an estimated $23 million cume.
"It's playing very broadly, and this is a terrific start," Sony distribution president Rory Bruer says about the Jesse Eisenberg-starring film which has been hailed by movie critics. "For an adult drama, this is a terrific opening," he further gushes. "It's not going to open like a romantic comedy or an action adventure, but it's going to stay around longer."
Other newcomers do not manage to reach high positions like "Social Network" does. "Let Me In", which has another vampire-themed story, debuts at the eighth with an estimated $5.3 million. "Case 39", which had been shelved for a long time before it was finally released in early October, is on the seventh with a slightly bigger revenue of $5.4 million.
"Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" still secures the runner-up title with an additional $10.8 million revenue. Last week's winner "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" drops to the third with an estimated $10.1 million gross (down 46.9%).
"The Town" and "Easy A" drop one position each. The crime drama, which is directed by Ben Affleck, lands on the fourth with an approximately $10 million haul, followed by the teen comedy which adds an estimated $7 million to its domestic gross.
