Chastain, who stars as a demonic mother in horror movie “Other Mommy,” shared on her Instagram Story Monday night a playful string of text messages with Strong, who plays Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin’s “Social Network” follow-up. Strong texted Chastain a Vulture headline about “Other Mommy’s” box office success which read, “‘Other Mommy’ Spanks ‘The Social Reckoning’ at the Box Office.” Indeed, it did — “Other Mommy” scored the No. 1 spot with $27.5 million, while “The Social Reckoning” flopped with just $5.5 million. With a budget of just $18 million, Blumhouse and Universal’s campy thriller is well positioned financially.
Critics were mixed on the film, which follows a Facebook engineer (Mikey Madison) who leaks thousands of internal documents to a reporter (Jeremy Allen White) to blow the whistle on the company’s dark practices. Strong once again went Method to portray Zuckerberg, with Sorkin telling The New York Times that the actor treated his co-stars “the way he imagines” Zuckerberg would. He’s not going to be yucking it up with you between takes.
He’s probably not going to speak to you at all. He is going to treat you the way he imagines Mark treats the people around him,'” Sorkin said. You cannot argue with the results.”
