Other Mommy hits digital today on November 10
Rob Savage’s Other Mommy hits digital platforms today, November 10, 2026. The film stars Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain as a mother protecting her daughter from a supernatural entity. Universal Pictures originally released the horror film theatrically on October 9, 2026. It is now available for digital purchase, with 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD arriving December 29, 2026.
The film follows seven-year-old Bela, who encounters a disturbing presence resembling her mother. This entity, called “Other Mommy,” manipulates Bela and tries to tear her family apart. Nathan Elston wrote the screenplay, adapting Josh Malerman’s 2024 novel Incidents Around the House. James Wan produced the project under the Blumhouse Atomic Monster banner. Principal photography took place in Dublin, Ireland, between May and July 2025.
Other Mommy earned $115.3 million worldwide against an $18-19 million budget. The film debuted at $27.8 million domestically from 3,365 theaters, topping the box office. However, it dropped 70% in its second weekend, earning $8.2 million. CinemaScore audiences gave the film a “D+” grade on an A+ to F scale.
Critics largely panned the film despite its commercial success. Rotten Tomatoes shows a 19% approval rating from 100 critics. The site’s consensus reads: “Despite a valiant turn from Jessica Chastain, Other Mommy proves too silly for its jump scares to add up.”
Metacritic assigned a score of 39 out of 100, indicating “generally unfavorable” reviews. The New York Times called the film a “sometimes-creepy, sometimes-hilarious schlockfest.” Benjamin Lee of The Guardian gave it 2 out of 5 stars.
The cast also features Jay Duplass, Arabella Olivia Clark, Dichen Lachman, Arian Moayed, Sean Kaufman, and Karen Allen.
