'Social Network' Liked Enough to Take Second Weekend

David Fincher's The Social Network dropped a reasonable 31% in its second weekend, adding another $15.5 million to its tally.  In a weak weekend at the box office, this was enough for a first place finish.  The film about the early days of popular social networking site Facebook has earned approximately $46 million to date against a $50 million budget.
