‘Other Mommy’ tops the box office with $27.5M; ‘The Social Reckoning’ opens to $5.5M
Jessica Chastain's horror film "Other Mommy" dominated the North American box office this weekend, grossing $27.5 million in its opening weekend. Despite mixed reviews, the movie exceeded expectations, earning more than initially anticipated. "The Social Reckoning," directed by Aaron Sorkin, made a lackluster debut, only earning $5.5 million from 2,606 theaters.
The film, based on a Facebook whistleblower story, received mixed-to-negative reviews. Sony Pictures' production cost of around $30 million further dampened hopes for the film's success. Meanwhile, "Verity," an Anne Hathaway psychological thriller, took second place with $11.5 million, a 64% drop from its opening weekend. "Resident Evil" and "Heart of the Beast" also made appearances in the top five, with domestic totals of $138.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively.
High-profile limited releases like "Fjord," "Musk," and "Misty Green" opened in select theaters, grossing a combined $277,416. The annual domestic box office surpassed the $8 billion mark, with final figures expected on Monday.
