Jessica Chastain’s Other Mommy has opened to a modest but stable start in India, collecting Rs 2.60 crore nett over its first weekend, which translates to Rs 3.06 crore gross. For a niche English-language horror title released on limited screens, that is a respectable number, especially with the film holding steady after day one.
The film began with Rs 0.80 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 0.90 crore on Saturday and another Rs 0.90 crore on Sunday. That weekend trend suggests Other Mommy found enough traction with horror viewers to avoid the kind of sharp drop that often hits imported genre titles in India after opening day.
Limited Release, Steady Weekend Hold
The key takeaway from the film’s India run so far is consistency. Other Mommy did not arrive as a wide commercial event title, nor did it have the scale of a mainstream studio tentpole in the market. Yet it still managed to push past the Rs 3 crore gross mark over the weekend, which gives the release a decent early platform.
For Hollywood horror films in India, especially those outside established mega-franchises, word of mouth and genre curiosity often decide the weekend trajectory. In that sense, Other Mommy posting identical Saturday and Sunday numbers points to a stable audience base through the first three days.
What Other Mommy Is About
Other Mommy is a supernatural horror film directed by Rob Savage. Jessica Chastain leads the cast in a dual role as Bela’s mother and the sinister entity known as Other Mommy. The film follows a young girl who forms a bond with a disturbing presence in her home that looks exactly like her mother, turning a troubled family space into the centre of a psychological and supernatural nightmare.
The supporting cast includes Arabella Olivia Clark, Jay Duplass, Dichen Lachman, Arian Moayed and Karen Allen. The film is backed by Universal Pictures and producers including James Wan, giving it a strong horror pedigree even before release.
Released In October 2026
Other Mommy was released in the United States on October 9, 2026, with its India theatrical rollout arriving alongside that October window. The film is based on Josh Malerman’s novel Incidents Around the House, a detail that had already made it one of the more closely watched horror adaptations among genre fans this year.
That literary connection, combined with Chastain’s star presence and Savage’s horror credentials, gave the film a clear identity going into release, even if its India launch remained controlled in scale.
Jessica Chastain’s Recent And Upcoming Work
For Jessica Chastain, Other Mommy adds another genre title to a career that has moved comfortably between prestige drama, thriller and studio horror. She was also seen in Mothers’ Instinct in 2024, the psychological thriller co-starring Anne Hathaway. Earlier, she earned major acclaim with The Eyes of Tammy Faye, the performance that won her the Academy Award for Best Actress.
With Other Mommy now in theatres, Chastain has once again returned to psychologically intense material, this time in a supernatural framework built around domestic fear, family tension and horror-driven identity play.
