Other Mommy topped the domestic box office with $27.5 million, while The Social Reckoning opened to a dismal $5.5 mil. Other Mommy ’s poor reviews did not deter the public, who merely wanted to see Jessica Chastain make that weird face some more. And make it, she did! Jeremy Strong making no facial expression as Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, was not intriguing enough to tempt theatergoers.
