Prisoners
At 46% across 121 matchups, Prisoners is losing more than it wins — but not by the kind of margin that suggests the audience has made up its mind. No round offers a foothold — below average at every stage. The American breakout that put Villeneuve on Hollywood's radar is a punishing moral thriller voters tend to admire more than they want to sit through again. Choosing it means re-entering hours of rain, dread, and a decent man doing indecent things, and not everyone signs up for that twice. Voters pick in 1.6s on average — well under the 3.5s platform norm.
Synopsis
Keller Dover is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His six-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend, Joy, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street.
45% opening, 46% semis, 47% finals. No round breaks above average, but the finals at 47% come closest — that's where Prisoners shows the most fight.
Sicario at 50% is as close to a dead heat as the platform produces. Every vote matters in this one. Dune is the film Prisoners can't figure out — just 25% in their matchups. Dune: Part Two causes similar problems at 29%.
Best of Denis Villeneuve is Prisoners's tournament to lose. The final against Blade Runner 2049 at 57% is competitive but the outcome is consistent.
Denis Villeneuve's 8 films span a wide range: Dune at 65% to Enemy at 28%. Prisoners sits at #5.
