War of the Worlds currently beats The Accountant² 58–42
Alien-invasion spectacle edges out the savant franchise.
The Verdict David vs Goliath
This matchup has 12 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 the current vote count, scale has the narrow edge over specificity, but the Accountant's audience is close enough to suggest the franchise has real loyalty.
