59% across 165 head-to-head matchups puts Space Jam comfortably above average — not untouchable, but better than the vast majority of films it faces. Peak 90s nostalgia compressed into a single film — Michael Jordan, Looney Tunes, and a generation's childhood in ninety minutes. In brackets, nostalgia is doing all the heavy lifting, and it lifts a remarkable amount. Fans decide quickly — 1.8s avg vs 3.5s platform average.

Synopsis

With their freedom on the line, the Looney Tunes seek the help of NBA superstar Michael Jordan to win a basketball game against a team of moronic aliens.

52% to 67% to 65%. The consistency is the story — Space Jam doesn't need a strong round to carry a weak one. It carries them all.

He Got Game is the nearest thing to a true rival at 52%. The margin is slim and the outcome still feels unsettled. Against Hoosiers, Space Jam wins 100%. Not much of a contest. Glory Road at 83% is another comfortable win.
