Part of situation: Release and reception of horror film Other Mommy (5 clusters)

Other Mommy tops North American box office with $27.5M opening

box office horror film Other Mommy Jessica Chastain Blumhouse

The horror film ‘Other Mommy’, starring Jessica Chastain and produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, has topped the North American box office with an estimated $27.5 million opening weekend. The film, directed by Rob Savage and based on the novel ‘Incidents Around the House’ by Josh Malerman, also saw a strong international debut, bringing its global opening to approximately $45.2 million.

Despite its commercial success, the film has faced significant critical backlash. Reviews have been largely negative, with some critics describing it as a ‘two-star mess’ and noting a lack of narrative depth. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a low approval rating of 18 percent, and it received a D+ CinemaScore from audiences.

In contrast to the horror hit, Aaron Sorkin’s drama ‘The Social Reckoning’ had a much quieter start, earning an estimated $5.5 million. At the New York Comic-Con, Blumhouse executives also announced upcoming projects, including a new ‘Exorcist’ film featuring Scarlett Johansson and ‘Violent Night 2’ starring Kristen Bell.
