It's official. The Social Network's opening weekend was a success after the film finished first at the box office and raked in $23 million in the U.S. and Canada. The film recounts a highly fictionalized version of Facebook's founding, and is being hailed by the majority of movie critics. Rolling Stone's Pete Travers said the film is bracingly smart, brutally funny and acted to perfection.
But not everyone is happy with The Social Network. The movie is accused by some as being a hit job on the so-called geeks at the center of the film. That may be one reason Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has indicated he won't see the movie. Nevertheless, the Facebook crew reportedly booked a local California theater to see the movie last Friday.
