Alien: Romulus

Front-Runner Starts strong, fades late
2024 · Horror, Science Fiction · Fede Álvarez

42% overall with a pattern worth knowing: Alien: Romulus opens well and fades. Early-round voters favor it; the films it faces in finals tend not to. A franchise entry that borrows liberally from the films voters already love. On a ballot, it's competing not just against its opponent but against the memory of 1979. At 1.4s average, voters make up their minds quickly — a gut preference rather than a weighed comparison.
