The movie collected solid numbers domestically and worldwide in its opening weekend, helping it earn significantly more than its low production cost in that weekend alone. Hence, it will be profitable even if it does not try to do so. Keep scrolling for the deets.

It is more than Sinners [$15.4 million] and Evil Dead: Burn [$11.3 million]. Combining domestic and overseas collections, the movie’s worldwide total is $45.2 million in its opening weekend.

Recovers 124% more than its low production cost in its opening weekend
According to reports, Other Mommy was made on an estimated budget of $19 million, and it has not only recouped its costs but also raked in significantly more worldwide.

It does not even have to try to save itself at the box office. The film is less than $6 million away from its $47.5 million break-even point. Other Mommy was released on October 9.
