Spooky season at the box office is kicking off with two very different villains: an autocratic tech bro and a double-jointed doppelgänger from hell.

This weekend’s new releases, Sony’s “The Social Reckoning,” featuring Jeremy Strong’s frigid take on Mark Zuckerberg, and “Other Mommy,” starring Jessica Chastain as a mother threatened by her creepy twin, are hoping to jolt movie theater attendance after Tom Cruise’s “Digger” failed to bring out older crowds. Luckily for exhibitors, it won’t take much for those films and other upcoming releases, including Paramount’s video game adaptation “Street Fighter,” Disney’s survival thriller “Whalefall” and Warner Bros. and DC’s comic book-inspired “Clayface,” to improve upon last year’s disastrous October at the box office.
