Other Mommy leads box office with $27.5 million

Other Mommy led the North American box office with an estimated $27.5 million over the weekend, while The Social Reckoning opened in fifth place with an estimated $5.5 million, according to Sunday estimates. The figures cover ticket sales in the United States and Canada and were preliminary, with final domestic totals expected Monday. The horror film, starring Jessica Chastain, earned its estimate from 3,365 theaters. Its reported global debut was about $45.2 million, including $17.69 million from international markets. The film opened in 50 international markets. Its production budget was reported at roughly $18 million to $19 million; the domestic opening alone does not establish whether it will be profitable. The Social Reckoning, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, brought in an estimated $5.5 million from 2,606 North American theaters. The film stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong, and follows a Facebook whistleblower who shares internal documents with a reporter. Its reported production cost was about $30 million, excluding marketing and promotion. The opening gross does not determine the film’s overall financial result.
