Other Mommy Projected to Lead Box Office as The Social Reckoning Opens Weakly
Jessica Chastain's twin-themed horror film is projected to top the weekend box office with more than $20 million. Aaron Sorkin's film following The Social Network, The Social Reckoning, is expected to open poorly, with estimates around $8 million or less.
Jessica Chastain’s Other Mommy is projected to lead the weekend with a gross above $20 million, with tracking placing it between $17 million and $22 million. Universal limited early critic access, and a broad critical consensus has not yet formed.
Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, tied to The Social Network, is expected to open far below that, with projections at roughly $8 million or under. The report was published October 8, 2026.
The weekend’s projected results could affect theater operators, studio marketers, and moviegoers by reinforcing horror’s commercial strength while raising questions about prestige drama’s theatrical draw. A weak opening for Sorkin’s film may influence how similar projects are scheduled, marketed, or screened for critics. Fans and awards observers could adjust expectations, though early box-office estimates often shift. The outcome may also shape industry narratives about which genres and filmmakers receive wide theatrical pushes.
