The Jessica Chastain horror\u00a0\u201cOther Mommy\u201d\u00a0topped the North American box office this weekend with a bigger audience than expected, while\u00a0\u201cThe Social Reckoning\u201d\u00a0got off to a lackluster start.<\/p>\n
\n
\u2018Other Mommy\u2019 is another win for horror<\/h4>\n
\u201cOther Mommy,\u201d released by Universal Pictures, earned $27.5 million in its first few days in 3,365 theaters, according to studio estimates on Sunday. The movie, about a sinister supernatural creature that terrorizes a young girl who thinks it\u2019s her mother, got dismal reviews from both critics and audiences. It also joins the ranks of \u201cMegalopolis\u201d and \u201cHereditary\u201d with a D+ CinemaScore.<\/p>\n
But with a production budget of around $19 million, it\u2019s also another win for the horror genre and producer Blumhouse Atomic Monster, which was behind\u00a0\u201cBackrooms\u201d and \u201cObsession.\u201d\u00a0\u201cOther Mommy\u201d opened in 50 international markets as well, boosting its global debut to $45.2 million.<\/p>\n
Jim Orr, Universal\u2019s head of domestic distribution, noted that the audience gender divide was evenly split and about 2\/3 were between 18 and 34 years old.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter how you look at it, everybody turned out for it. It wasn\u2019t just one particular demographic,\u201d Orr said. \u201cThat usually is a very good sign.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018The Social Reckoning\u2019 fails to connect<\/h4>\n
\u201cThe Social Reckoning,\u201d the weekend\u2019s other big release, was not as lucky, earning an estimated $5.5 million from 2,606 North American theaters.\u00a0Aaron Sorkin\u00a0wrote and directed the film about a Facebook whistleblower who leaked incriminating documents to a Wall Street Journal reporter.<\/p>\n
Sixteen years ago, \u201cThe Social Network,\u201d which Sorkin wrote and David Fincher directed, opened to over $22 million and went on to gross over $224 million worldwide, receiving eight Oscar nominations and winning three. A similar fate might be a stretch for \u201cThe Social Reckoning,\u201d which stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong and received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. Audiences gave it a B- CinemaScore. According to reports, the Sony Pictures release cost around $30 million to produce, not accounting for marketing and promotion.<\/p>\n
Paul Dergarabedian, Rentrak\u2019s head of marketplace trends, said October is a time when studios take chances and it doesn\u2019t always work out.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese movies that are topical in nature, sometimes they resonate with the culture, sometimes they don\u2019t,\u201d said Dergarabedian. \u201cYou don\u2019t always know what\u2019s going to connect with audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
He compared \u201cThe Social Reckoning\u201d to \u201cDigger,\u201d which fell 60% in\u00a0its second weekend.<\/p>\n
The overall box office is still up<\/h4>\n
\u201cThe Social Reckoning\u201d opened behind several holdovers as well. The Anne Hathaway psychological thriller\u00a0\u201cVerity\u201d\u00a0took second place with $11.5 million, down 64% from its opening weekend. In third place, \u201cResident Evil\u201d added $8.4 million, bringing its domestic total to $138.5 million. The Brad Pitt survival thriller \u201cHeart of the Beast\u201d took fourth with $7.1 million.<\/p>\n
Christopher Nolan\u2019s\u00a0\u201cThe Odyssey\u00a0\u201d also made an encore appearance in the top 10 in its 13th weekend in theaters where it was back in 12 IMAX 70 mm locations. It added $2 million from 560 North American theaters, bringing its domestic total just shy of $623 million.<\/p>\n
Several high-profile films opened in limited release this weekend as well. The Cannes Palme d\u2019Or winner\u00a0\u201cFjord\u201d\u00a0debuted on four screens this weekend where it made $124,000. Alex Gibney\u2019s Elon Musk documentary\u00a0\u201cMusk,\u201d\u00a0which runs nearly four hours, made $68,900 from four locations. And Chris Rock\u2019s \u201cMisty Green\u201d made $85,716 from six locations through Sunday.<\/p>\n
The annual domestic box office crossed the $8 billion mark on Friday and is up over 19% from last year. According to Rentrak, that\u2019s about 8% behind 2019.<\/p>\n
