Other Mommy Box Office Soars Despite Poor Reviews The latest horror film from director Rob Savage, Other Mommy, has already grossed nearly $80 million worldwide, quadrupling its budget despite receiving negative critical feedback. However, its success is dwarved by Focus Features' Obsession, which had a record-breaking theatrical run and is now eyeing Oscar glory, with star Inde Navarrette considered a top contender for Best Actress. Spooky season is in full swing at the box office, with the latest film from Host director Rob Savage taking over theaters. Other Mommy, an adaptation of the 2024 novel Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman starring Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain, might have earned terrible reviews from critics, but its box office fortunes are much different. Other Mommy Box Office SurpassIn just two weekends, the film has already quadrupled its reported $19 million budget with a global haul of $79 million. This early box office success is worth celebrating, but it will come nowhere close to the frankly incredible theatrical run of Focus Features' Obsession earlier this year.As the highest-grossing non-animated original film of the past decade, the highest-grossing original horror movie of this century, and the fifth highest-grossing horror film of all time, Obsession shocked the world, becoming arguably the most famous sub-$1 million budget movie of the past 25 years. The film is being backed heavily for an Oscars campaign, hoping to follow in the footsteps of The Substance and Weapons by winning Academy Awards gold in the horror genre.Inde Navarrette Oscar Buzz BuildsStar Inde Navarrette looks the most likely to take home a Golden Statue, with her star-making turn as Nikki Freeman being called "one of the year's best" performances by Collider's Hannah Hunt in her review. If Obsession has somehow passed you by until now, that could all change next month. Starting November 17, you will be able to officially stream Obsession on Netflix in the U.S.
