Other Mommy Digital Release Date Announced Today
The Other Mommy digital release was confirmed in a Universal Pictures Home Entertainment announcement dated 3 November 2026. The film will debut exclusively on digital platforms beginning 10 November 2026, available to buy or rent from participating digital retailers. Universal is billing it as exclusive early access on digital retail platforms, months before the film reaches any subscription streaming service. No subscription streaming date has been announced yet, so digital purchase and rental is the only way to watch it at home for now.
The physical editions arrive just in time for the holidays. Other Mommy lands on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on 29 December 2026, giving collectors a disc version loaded with bonus material. That quick journey from cinemas to living rooms is no accident: the film has been one of the autumn’s surprise box office performers, and Universal is striking while audiences are still talking about it.
What Is Other Mommy About?
Other Mommy follows eight-year-old Bela, a young girl whose parents’ marriage is falling apart. Searching for comfort, Bela forms a bond with a disturbing presence in her home, an entity that looks uncannily like her own mother. At first the figure seems gentle, even loving, but it slowly grows more manipulative, determined to drive a wedge between Bela and her real family and tear the household apart.
The story comes from Josh Malerman’s 2024 novel Incidents Around the House. Malerman is best known for Bird Box, and his book tells the horror entirely through a child’s eyes, which is exactly the approach director Rob Savage keeps in the film. The scares work because they feel domestic: the monster does not lurk in a haunted mansion, it sits at the kitchen table.
Other Mommy Cast and Crew
Jessica Chastain carries the film in a demanding dual role, playing both Bela’s real mother, Ursula Martin, and the sinister entity known as Other Mommy. It is a performance built on small, chilling differences in voice and movement, as the same face switches between warmth and menace. Newcomer Arabella Olivia Clark plays Bela, while Jay Duplass plays her father, Daddo.
The supporting cast includes Dichen Lachman, Sean Kaufman, Arian Moayed and Karen Allen. Rob Savage directs from a screenplay by Nathan Elston, a writer on the Emmy-winning series Succession. Savage previously made the lockdown chiller Host and the Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman, and he produces here alongside James Wan’s Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, with Universal Pictures handling distribution.
Other Mommy Box Office: A 100 Million Dollar Horror Surprise
The Other Mommy digital release arrives on the back of a remarkable theatrical run. The film opened in US cinemas on 9 October 2026 and has since earned more than 100 million dollars worldwide, around 108 million dollars in total, with roughly 55.7 million dollars from North America and 52.3 million dollars from international markets. Made for only about 19 million dollars, it has cleared its break-even point several times over.
Critics were far less kind than audiences. The film holds a low score of around 19 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, yet viewers kept buying tickets, helped by Chastain’s committed performance and a trailer that genuinely unsettled people. That split between critics and crowds has become part of the film’s story, and it explains why Universal is moving so fast to bring it home.
Bonus Features on the Other Mommy Digital and 4K Release
Buyers of the digital and disc editions get more than the film itself. The home release includes four deleted and alternate scenes: “Alternate Car Confrontation”, “Dancing at Grandma’s”, “Checking Bela’s Room” and “Taking a Bath”. There is also a behind-the-scenes featurette featuring Chastain and the filmmakers discussing the title character, plus featurettes exploring the film’s effects, the performances and the decision to tell a horror story through a child’s eyes.
Where to Watch Other Mommy Online
From 10 November 2026, Other Mommy will be available on digital platforms to buy or rent at participating retailers. The film is not yet confirmed for Netflix, Prime Video or any other subscription streaming service, and Universal has stressed that the digital retail window comes first. Fans who want a physical copy can pick up the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray or DVD edition from 29 December 2026.
