WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Social Network tops the chart with 23 million, which was a bit below what most expected, but still ranks as director David Fincher's second biggest opening after Panic Room (which is just plain silly, given how big Se7en and Fight Club eventually became). Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole held well in the second slot with 10.9 million, but a 30 million total against an 80 million budget means this will have to look overseas for profit.  Last week's topper, Wall Street 2, slid 47 percent to the third slot with 10.1 million; it too may depend on overseas markets for profit.  The Town was close behind in the fourth slot with 10 million; it has taken in 64.3 million against a 37 million budget.  Easy A rounds out the Top Five with another 7 million in gravy for Screen Gems.  Below the fold, Case 39 and Let Me In opened in a virtual dead heat for seventh and eighth, with a disappointing 5.3 million each.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK: Near universally acclaimed, and justly so.  The screenplay by Aaron Sorkin is sharp, if not overtly Sorkin-esque.  David Fincher does his usual excellent job directing a cast including Jesse Eisenberg who gets to step from the lovable loser roles of Superbad, Adventureland and Zombieland to that of the sorta unlovable (but sorta lovable) billionaire Mark Zuckerberg.  Some of the critical comaprisons to movies like Citizen Kane and Network are a bit overblown.  Citizen Kane pioneered an entire genre, and Network had far more foresight than even its fans imagined at the time.  Nevertheless, the story of the creation of Facebook is far more than Revenge of the Nerds, and a twisted Horatio Alger story oddly well-suited to the populist tenor of the times.

LET ME IN:  It's a shame this remake of the Swedish vampire flick Let The Right One In failed to catch people's attention, if only because Chloe Grace Moretz proves again that she is one of the most talented tweens working in Hollywood today.  It woud be sad to think that an interesting and occasionally touching vampire story doesn't work in today's marketplace without the teen melodrama of the Twilight Saga or the formulaic gore of your average slasher flick.
