©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection After “Obsession” and “Backrooms” made 2026 a huge year for horror, Jessica Chastain‘s “Other Mommy” is looking to continue the trend at the box office this weekend.
The Universal movie, produced by Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, has made $3.6 million in previews from 2,850 domestic screens. It’s expected to open with $22 million to $28 million this weekend, with some predictions as high as $35 million, thanks to the banner year that horror movies have had. “Other Mommy” should have enough to triumph over last week’s box office champ, the Colleen Hoover adaptation “Verity” (starring Anne Hathaway as another freaky mother).
