‘Other Mommy’ leads a weak box office weekend as ‘Social Reckoning’ struggles
The horror film “Other Mommy” is leading the U.S. box office in its opening weekend, with an estimated $28 million in ticket sales.
It opened with $13 million on Friday, but critics and audiences have rated it poorly.
Audiences gave it a D+ CinemaScore, a low grade that may discourage people from seeing it over the weekend.
“The Social Reckoning,” a film about the 2021 investigation into Facebook’s role in the Jan.
6 riots, is projected to earn just $6 million in its opening weekend.
That is far below the $22.4 million opening for its predecessor, “The Social Network,” in 2010, before adjusting for inflation.
The weak results come as overall box office estimates have slipped below $90 million for the second weekend in a row.
The weekend’s performance adds to signs that films about current events and political issues are struggling to attract wide audiences.
Other Mommy led the weekend box office, while overall estimates fell below $90 million.
The film earned $13 million on its opening day from 3,365 screens and was estimated to open at $28 million.
Critics and audiences gave Other Mommy poor marks, including a D+ CinemaScore.
The Social Reckoning earned $2.1 million on Friday from 2,606 locations and was projected to open at $6 million.
TheWrap said the weak results reflect the difficulty of attracting wide audiences to films about current events and political issues.
