\n\t\u201cOther Mommy<\/a>\u201d may have dominated \u201cThe Social Reckoning<\/a>\u201d at the box office this past weekend, but there\u2019s no hard feelings between longtime friends Jessica Chastain<\/a> and Jeremy Strong<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tChastain, who stars as a demonic mother in horror movie \u201cOther Mommy,\u201d shared on her Instagram Story Monday night a playful string of text messages with Strong, who plays Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin\u2019s \u201cSocial Network\u201d follow-up. <\/p>\n

\n\tStrong texted Chastain a Vulture headline<\/a> about \u201cOther Mommy\u2019s\u201d box office success which read, \u201c\u2018Other Mommy\u2019 Spanks \u2018The Social Reckoning\u2019 at the Box Office.\u201d Indeed, it did \u2014 \u201cOther Mommy\u201d scored the No. 1 spot with $27.5 million<\/a>, while \u201cThe Social Reckoning\u201d flopped with just $5.5 million. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOmg,\u201d Chastain replied, to which Strong fired back with a middle finger emoji and kiss emoji. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThese pics are hysterical,\u201d Chastain commented of Vulture\u2019s photo choice, featuring them side-by-side in character. \u201cIts so funny,\u201d Strong said, to which Chastain responded: \u201cYou look SO SAD!\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOther Mommy\u201d debuted well above box office expectations, considering the fact that it received poor reviews and a D+ grade on CinemaScore. With a budget of just $18 million, Blumhouse and Universal\u2019s campy thriller is well positioned financially. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Social Reckoning,\u201d on the other hand, failed to live up to its projected debut of $7 million to $8 million. 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\u2019s dark practices. Strong once again went Method to portray Zuckerberg, with Sorkin telling The New York Times<\/a> that the actor treated his co-stars \u201cthe way he imagines\u201d Zuckerberg would. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI told all the other actors in his scenes: \u2018Guys, he\u2019s not going to be hanging out with you at craft service. He\u2019s not going to be yucking it up with you between takes. He\u2019s 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,’\u201d Sorkin said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what happened. You cannot argue with the results.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cOther Mommy\u201d may have dominated \u201cThe Social Reckoning\u201d at the box office this past weekend, but there\u2019s no…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629318,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,68169,26486,111,139,69,26487,42614],"class_list":["post-629317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-jeremy-strong","tag-jessica-chastain","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-other-mommy","tag-the-social-reckoning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
