Ballerina

Gatekeeper Strong in semis, fades in finals
2025 · Len Wiseman

51% overall puts Ballerina near the middle of the pack. The round data tells a sharper story: strong in semis, a different film in finals. A spinoff that inherits the choreography and world-building of the John Wick franchise without inheriting the character that made people care. Ana de Armas brings real physicality, but borrowed mythology is a hard foundation for bracket loyalty. At 0.8s average, voters don't deliberate — this is an instant reaction, not a considered choice.

Synopsis

Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Eve Macarro begins her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.

The ceiling

Strong enough to reach the final at 76% in the semis, not strong enough to win it at 19%. The pattern is consistent enough across tournaments to define Ballerina.

At 52%, the matchup with The Amateur is the tightest in Ballerina's record — close enough to go either way. Ballerina beats Night Carnage (86%) and The Old Guard 2 (82%) convincingly. STRAW at 0% is where the dominance ends.
