According to a press release issued today by Sony Pictures Entertainment, The Social Network has grossed more than $93 million in the US and $104 million overseas, and will pass the $200 million mark in the next few days.

Jeff Blake, Chairman, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures commented on the announcement:

The Social Network has struck a chord with audiences all around the world.  No invention defines our era like Facebook does, but what has made it break through as a motion picture is that it is a parable for our time.  Everyone, everywhere, can relate to the human motivations of the real-life people who are depicted in the film. At the box office, this film showed true staying power, grossing more than four times its opening weekend gross – a rare accomplishment when the average for wide releases last year was below three times its opening weekend gross.  It is always a great feeling to see a film connect with moviegoers, but this film is incredibly special to us – we are as proud of it as any film in our studio's history.
