The Social Network
44% across 488 head-to-head matchups puts The Social Network on the wrong side of average. The record is below the midline, but the distance is not insurmountable. Sorkin's screenplay and Fincher's direction created something that only gets more relevant with time. It's the rare film that voters can pick on pure craft without needing to invoke any larger argument.
Synopsis
In 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programmer Mark Zuckerberg begins work on a new concept that eventually turns into the global social network known as Facebook. Six years later, Mark is one of the youngest billionaires ever, but his unprecedented success leads to both personal and legal complications when he ends up on the receiving end of two lawsuits, one involving his former friend.
There's life in the semis: 55% shows The Social Network can compete when the conditions are right. The opening at 40% are where it loses ground — a mixed profile with one round carrying the rest.
At 47%, the matchup with The Dark Knight is the tightest in The Social Network's record — close enough to go either way. The Social Network beats The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (80%) and Gone Girl (74%) convincingly. Panic Room at 0% is where the dominance ends.
The Nolan vs. Fincher final between The Social Network and The Dark Knight is genuinely contested at 47%. Neither film has established clear control.
David Fincher's 9 films span a wide range: Fight Club at 56% to Alien³ at 37%. The Social Network sits at #5.
