Ballerina vs Heads of State is currently a dead heat at 50–50
Franchise spinoff and original action film — 2025 can't choose between them.
The Verdict Class of 2025
The tie at 50 to 50 strips the Wick brand from the equation and evaluates both films on pure action delivery, which is Heads of State's best possible outcome. Naishuller's film doesn't have the Continental, the choreographic heritage, or the built-in audience that Wiseman inherits. Parity here means Heads of State is matching a franchise spinoff on execution alone. At 54 votes, both films are proving they can generate engagement from different starting points — one from inheritance, the other from originality. The bracket treats them as equals. Whether the audience agrees depends on which camp grows faster.
