Tenet

Rising Star Gets stronger in later rounds
2020 · Action, Thriller, Science Fiction · Christopher Nolan

The overall record undersells Tenet. 21% across 194 head-to-head matchups looks average until you look at how the numbers shift as a tournament progresses. Nolan's most divisive film runs on ambition voters can't always follow. The ballot question is whether spectacle you don't fully understand still earns a vote. It ranks among the weakest 2020s performers on the platform.

Synopsis

Armed with only one word - Tenet - and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time.

Where it thrives

The opening number doesn't capture it. 16% early, 35% in the semis, 56% in the final — Tenet builds as the competition gets tougher, a trajectory most films can't sustain.

At 46%, the matchup with Interstellar is the tightest in Tenet's record — close enough to go either way. The extremes tell a clear story — 83% against Memento at one end, 16% against The Dark Knight at the other.

Closest Rival

Memento

Kryptonite

Tenet owns Best of Nolan. Memento is the usual final opponent, and at 83% it's not much of a contest.

Tenet sits at #7 of Christopher Nolan's 7 films. The filmography spans from The Dark Knight (59%) down to Dunkirk (30%) — a 29% range that shows how differently voters treat the same director's work.
