The horror movie "Other Mommy," starring Jessica Chastain, led the North American box office this weekend with a robust $27.5 million debut. Despite being poorly received by critics with a 19% on Rotten Tomatoes and a D+ on CinemaScore, the modest $18 million film outperformed expectations and added $17.69 million internationally for a $45.19 million global total.
In contrast, Sony's new release "The Social Reckoning" crumbled during its opening weekend, taking fifth place with just $5.5 million. Both films face potential drops in ticket sales moving forward due to negative word-of-mouth and poor audience reception.
