Strong, who plays Mark Zuckerberg in the Aaron Sorkin film, sent a text to Chastain with a Vulture article proclaiming &#8220;&#8216;Other Mommy&#8217; Spanks &#8216;The Social Reckoning&#8217; At The Box Office.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Omg,&#8221; Chastain responded in the texts that she later shared on her Instagram story.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Jessica Chastain and Jeremy Strong texts (Credit: Jessica Chastain's Instagram)\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1343\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/thewrap.com\/ccf152daef4b4ab08d5b3771dd86a0f9.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Jessica Chastain and Jeremy Strong texts (Credit: Jessica Chastain&#8217;s Instagram)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Strong responded to that with two emojis: the middle finger and a face blowing a kiss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;These pics are hysterical,&#8221; Chastain responded. The pics in question show Chastain \u2013 as either the regular or Demonic Mommy \u2013 staring at the camera while Strong as Zuckerberg looks down at the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Its so funny,&#8221;Strong responded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You look SO SAD!&#8221; Chastain added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Made on a $19 million budget, &#8220;Other Mommy&#8221; stars Chastain as a mom who discovers that there is a vicious doppelganger of herself that is haunting her daughter. The film should be able to clear its low break-even point theatrically as it has also grossed $17.6 million overseas from 50 markets for a $45 million global start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The Social Reckoning&#8221; earned its abysmal opening numbers and landed at at No. 5 on the box office charts just ahead of the third weekend of Universal\/DreamWorks&#8217; animated flop &#8220;Forgotten Island&#8221; with $4.5 million. By comparison, Sorkin&#8217;s previous film about the Facebook creator, &#8220;The Social Network,&#8221; opened to $22.6 million in the fall of 2010.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a data-ylk=\"slk:Jeremy Strong Texted Jessica Chastain After &#039;Other Mommy&#039; Obliterated &#039;Social Reckoning&#039; at the Box Office;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/movies\/jeremy-strong-jessica-chastain-other-mommy-social-reckoning-box-office-texts\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Jeremy Strong Texted Jessica Chastain After &#8216;Other Mommy&#8217; Obliterated &#8216;Social Reckoning&#8217; at the Box Office<\/a> appeared first on <a data-ylk=\"slk:TheWrap;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jeremy Strong and Jessica Chastain are having some fun over their new films competing against each other at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":881467,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-881466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=881466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/881467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=881466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=881466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=881466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
