You Have 12 Days to Watch This Oscar Winner With Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg Before It Leaves Prime Video
The $224 million hit movie came as David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin’s highly acclaimed collaboration.
Just like its fellow streamer Netflix, Prime Video keeps replacing its current collection’s movies with new ones, though in some cases it might not be as exciting.
This month, the disheartening trend will concern a beloved Oscar-winning movie which will be forever gone from Prime Video’s platform in just several days, looking for another streaming home to eventually get to.
Released in 2010, the film stars this year’s Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg among other prominent cast members and recounts the story of Facebook’s creator Mark Zuckerberg during his earlier years before turning into one of the wealthiest people on Earth.
The Social Network Will Leave Prime Video in March
In case you have missed out on the movie all these years, The Social Network’s departure from Prime Video on March 24 might serve as a great reminder to add it to your watchlist until it’s too late.
Regarded as the best movie of 2010, The Social Network garners a star-packed cast that, apart from Jesse Eisenberg, also comprises Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer and Max Minghella.
The movie is based on Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires and follows Harvard undergrad and computer genius Mark Zuckerberg who back in 2003 conceives a concept for a completely new social network which would later on become Facebook.
Several years later, he’s no longer a loser who lost a chance to get a Harvard diploma, but one of the youngest billionaires ever; however, life doesn’t become much easier since the world fame also signals both personal and legal complications for Zuckerberg.
Soon, he gets involved in a lawsuit that has something to do with his then close friend Eduardo Saverin.
The Social Network Was Named the Best Movie Released in 2010
Despite Mark Zuckerberg himself not being on board for the project, The Social Network came as an astoundingly plausible version of the real-life events and was praised for many aspects.
With a budget of $40 million, the movie grossed almost $225 million and later on became one of the frontrunners during the next year’s awards season in Hollywood. At the 2011 Oscars ceremony, The Social Network received 8 nominations, including for Best Picture, and ultimately won three of them for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing and Best Original Score.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film is still a major hit with 96% and 87% of favorable reviews from critics and viewers respectively.
