Other Mommy Tops Box Office as The Social Reckoning Struggles

Other Mommy claimed the top spot at the domestic box office over the weekend, earning $27.5 million despite negative reviews, while The Social Reckoning opened with just $5.5 million. According to Vulture, audiences favored the horror film starring Jessica Chastain over the drama featuring Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg.

The opening results placed Other Mommy well ahead of its competition in North American theaters. The contrast also left The Social Reckoning with a comparatively weak debut, according to Vulture's weekend box office report published October 11, 2026.

Verity finished second after collecting another $11.5 million domestically. The film, based on a work by Colleen Hoover, joined Other Mommy among the weekend's releases that received unfavorable critical reviews but still attracted moviegoers.

Resident Evil secured third place in the domestic rankings with $8.35 million. The film also returned to the top of the international box office, supported by its release in China.

According to Vulture, Resident Evil generated another $62.7 million worldwide, bringing its cumulative global box office total to $320.2 million. The result made it Zach Cregger's highest-grossing film to date.

Other Mommy's domestic performance came despite its poor critical reception, with Jessica Chastain's unusual facial expressions highlighted in Vulture's assessment of the film's appeal. By contrast, Jeremy Strong's restrained portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Reckoning did not generate comparable interest among theater audiences, according to the publication.
