The Accountant² currently wins by a hair over The Amateur 51–49
Two 2025 thrillers in a dead heat — franchise sequel versus original spy film.
The Verdict Class of 2025
The tie at 51 to 49 strips away the franchise advantage The Accountant² should have and puts both films on even footing, which is The Amateur's most notable bracket achievement. O'Connor built a sequel designed to satisfy an existing audience. Hawes built a standalone designed to create a new one. Different ambitions, different risk profiles, and 45 voters can't separate them. That parity is more interesting than either film winning would be — it suggests the sequel's built-in audience is roughly equal in size to the standalone's ability to convert new voters. Both approaches are working. Neither is pulling ahead.
