Aliens currently dominates AVP: Alien vs. Predator 82–18
Cameron's franchise peak buries the crossover — the expected rout.
The Verdict Decade Duel
This margin at 82 to 18 is the vote correcting for the fact that AVP exists at all. Cameron's Aliens invented the action-sequel template — take a horror film, add military hardware, keep the original's best character — and executed it so well that the template still hasn't been improved. The motion tracker scene alone, marines listening to blips converge on their position from inside the walls, generates more sustained tension than anything in Anderson's filmography. AVP was a studio product designed to monetize two properties simultaneously. Aliens was a filmmaker's argument that sequels could be better than originals. The blowout is the audience agreeing.
