Is anybody really surprised?
The David Fincher-directed drama, from a script by Aaron Sorkin, has nearly flawless reviews and tons of Oscar buzz already. Plus not only does it star Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake as the founders of Facebook and Napster, there's also Andrew Garfield (who's playing Spider-Man in the reboot of that franchise) and Rooney Mara (next playing the title role in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake).
Now The Social Network has claimed the number one spot at the box office its opening weekend, raking in $23 million. Congrats all around!
If you haven't seen the sure to be award winner yet, do so quickly! Not only is it evocative of our online times, it's also a brilliant biopic destined to be a classic.
Best Picture perhaps?
