Jessica Chastain has a horror hit on her hands.

Replacing Jesse Eisenberg with the more naturally menacing, taller and less ZuckerberglyJeremy Strong blows up in Aaron Sorkin’s face with his Facebook Takes a Hit sequel to “The Social Network,” “The Social Reckoning.”

And “Verity” proves to be a fall dramatic thriller with legs.

That’s the quick take-away from this second weekend in October at the movies.

The Numbers reports that a robust Thursday night ($3.6) and healthy Friday “opening day” (adding another $8+) put “Other Mommy” over $12 and on its way to a $27.5 million opening weekend.

Horror movies are kind of critic proof, even in an era when highbrow horror and “smart” supernatural thrillers are thriving. “Other Mommy” isn’t all that with the critics. “Saw” producer James Wan just keeps those Blumhouse/Universal horror hits coming because that audience is getting back in the habit of going to the movies.

The second weekend of the new Colleen Hoover adaptation “Verity” is racking up another $11.5 million in second place, as the fall is shaping up to be one where established Oscar-winning actresses are getting work with box office potential, as Anne Hathaway (“Verity”) and Jessica Chastain (“Other Mommy”) are making movies that make bank.

The “Resident Evil” reboot is fading but still earned $8.35 million this weekend, a $140 million or so hit that may top out at $160 or so when it finishes its run.

In fourth is the Brad Pitt and his Dog (with CGI wolves and moose) adventure “Heart of the Beast” are still selling, clearing $7 million, good enough for fourth place. It’ll clear the $50 million mark by Monday.

Aaron Sorkin’s “Social Network” sequel, “The Social Reckoning,” which replaced its intense leading man with an even more intense one that looks less like Mark Zuckerberg, is underwhelming one and all for a $5.5 million fifth place .

As “Reckoning” is about the evils of Facebook being exposed and subject to massive lawsuits, it’s also a harder sell. Hundreds of millions still use Big Brother Meta’s data-mining/viewer-manipulating addiction.

So maybe people aren’t in the mood for a movie that isn’t even getting good reviews or anything like Oscar buzz. That’s what happened with “Digger,” which opened weak and is fast fading to black.

Has everybody uninstalled the headspace-invading/voter-manipulating app from your phone? That’s the easiest way to cut back on usage without giving up the few actual “connections” we get out of it, I find. Just load the website whenever you want to check in, and resist the urge to compulsively reopen the app 60 times a day.

The fall disappointments “Forgotten Island ($4.5, sixth),Primetime ($4, 7th),” “Digger ($3.2 8th),”and the stumbling Angel Studios remake of “Angel and the Badman ($2.06, 9th)” cling to the top ten, with “The Odyssey ($2, 10th) finally besting “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” on a weekend that sees Spidey exit.

“Practical Magic 2,” also exits the top ten.
