‘The Social Reckoning’ Flops With $5.5 Million Debut, ‘Other Mommy’ Tops Box Office With $27.5 Million
“Other Mommy,” a horror movie starring Jessica Chastain as a double-jointed doppelgänger from hell, scared up $27.5 million in its box office debut. Those ticket sales were enough to lead in North America over this weekend’s other new release, “The Social Reckoning,” which crumbled in fifth place with $5.5 million. “Other Mommy” landed above expectations […]
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.
