Jessica Chastain's 'Other Mommy' Opens at No. 1 With $27.5 Million

"Other Mommy," a horror film starring Jessica Chastain, took in $27.5 million in ticket sales in its first release, according to Variety Film. That total put the film ahead of every other title at the box office. Chastain plays a double-jointed doppelgänger in the film. The opening places a horror title, built around a single lead performance, at the top of the box office chart. For readers in Beverly Hills, where much of the film industry lives and works, the opening-week box office chart is the number the industry watches most closely.
