Other Mommy Opens Strong as Social Reckoning Stumbles

Other Mommy topped the weekend with about $27.5 million in North American ticket sales despite harsh reviews and a D+ CinemaScore. Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, a follow-up to The Social Network, opened to only $5.5 million. Overall domestic box office was up year over year, though the frame remained below pre-pandemic averages.

Universal placed Other Mommy in 3,200 North American venues. It earned roughly $27.5 million, exceeding the studio's $20 million projection for a $19 million production. Jessica Chastain plays a threatening presence linked to a child's closet; Rob Savage directed. Despite a D+ CinemaScore and 19% critic score, its trailer, first shown before Universal's The Odyssey, helped generate interest.

Sony's The Social Reckoning opened to $5.5 million from 2,606 locations, below the $7 million expectation. The $30 million Aaron Sorkin film stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong. It follows a Facebook employee and a journalist examining company secrets. Its B- CinemaScore contrasts with mixed reviews (54% critics, 71% audience). The Social Network opened to $22.4 million in 2010 and reached $224 million worldwide.
