The horror film overcame poor reviews with a $27.5 million debut, while Aaron Sorkin’s Facebook drama opened below projections at $5.5 million.
- Universal and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster's "Other Mommy," starring Jessica Chastain, led the box office with a $27.5 million opening this weekend, the only film earning more than $12 million.
- Sony/Columbia/Alcon's "The Social Reckoning" grossed just $5.5 million in its debut, earning less than a third of the $22 million opening for 2010's "The Social Network" 16 years prior.
- Both releases faced mixed reception; "Other Mommy" earned a CinemaScore grade and 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, while "The Social Reckoning" received a CinemaScore grade and 54% on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Hurricane Isaias kept moviegoers in the southeastern United States out of theaters Friday and Saturday, contributing to weekend box office totals sinking to an estimated $88-90 million from last weekend's $100 million.
- "Other Mommy" is positioned against a modest $19 million budget, while Sony's "Resident Evil" remains a strong holdover and upcoming releases like "Clayface" will intensify Halloween horror competition ahead.
