Other Mommy Opens at No. 1 With $27.5 Million as The Social Reckoning Lands at $5.3 Million

Universal's horror film beat forecasts of about $20 million, while Sony's Aaron Sorkin sequel came in below its $8 million projection and Verity fell 64%.

Jessica Chastain's horror film Other Mommy opened at No. 1 over the October 9-11 weekend with $27.5 million from 3,365 theaters, according to the weekend chart at The Numbers. Pre-weekend forecasts had put it at about $20 million, with Boxoffice Pro's panel expecting the low $20 millions at best, so the film cleared the high end of its range.
