Content overview: “‘Other Mommy’ Eyes $27.5M Debut to Top Weekend Box Office, ‘The Social Reckoning’ Stumbles”. Universal’s horror thriller ‘Other Mommy’ is on track to lead the domestic box office with a projected $27.5 million opening across 3,365 screens, despite harsh reviews. Directed by Rob Savage and produced by James Wan and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, the film stars Jessica Chastain in dual roles, drawing audiences with its high-concept premise. The strong start underscores the continued box office pull of Blumhouse’s brand in the horror genre, even when critical reception is mixed.
In contrast, ‘The Social Reckoning’ is faltering with an estimated $6 million debut, signaling weak audience interest in the social media–themed thriller. The weekend’s split performance highlights a market where recognizable horror franchises and star power can overcome negative buzz, while less established concepts struggle to gain traction.
