The new horror film starring Jessica Chastain has swiftly taken the top spot at the North American box office, earning $27.5 million in its opening weekend while the competing drama ‘The Social Reckoning’ opened to a modest $5.5 million. Pre‑release preview numbers also showed a strong $3.6 million haul for ‘Other Mommy,’ underscoring audience appetite for genre tentpoles. This early success matters because it signals a robust market for theatrical horror amid a broader industry recovery, and it could boost confidence in mid‑budget, star‑driven projects as studios plan their spring slates. Watch for the film’s second‑week performance and the upcoming release schedule of other genre titles that may ride this momentum. [[1, 2, 3]]
