  "account": "Jeremy Strong and Jessica Chastain's new films, \"Other Mommy\" and \"The Social Reckoning,\" faced off against each other at the box office last week. \"Other Mommy\" opened to a strong $27.5 million, while \"The Social Reckoning\" debuted with a weak $5.5 million. Strong, who portrays Mark Zuckerberg in \"The Social Reckoning,\" sent a text to Chastain, sharing a Vulture article about their films' box office clash. Chastain responded with an enthusiastic \"Omg,\" and the two continued the exchange through text messages, using emojis to express their amusement. The images that sparked this friendly competition show the pair, with Chastain in either her regular or demonic mommy roles, while Strong as Zuckerberg looks down. The pictures are described as hilarious by Chastain, with Strong joking about her sad expression. \"Other Mommy\" was made on a $19 million budget and has already grossed $17.6 million domestically and $17.6 million overseas, giving it a strong $45 million global start. \"The Social Reckoning,\" on the other hand, opened at No. 5 on the box office charts with $4.5 million, despite having a larger budget. Comparatively, Strong's previous film about Facebook, \"The Social Network,\" opened to $22.6 million in 2010.",
