War of the Worlds currently edges The Accountant² 55–46
Alien-invasion spectacle edges out the savant franchise.
The Verdict David vs Goliath
This matchup has 11 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
Lee's War of the Worlds operates on a scale that O'Connor's character-driven sequel can't match. The alien-invasion premise guarantees set pieces. The Accountant franchise guarantees a specific kind of pleasure: watching Affleck solve problems through violence with the emotional detachment of someone filing taxes. From 11 votes, scale has the narrow edge over specificity, but the Accountant's audience is close enough to suggest the franchise has real loyalty.
