Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.

The 1989 comparison presents Diane Keaton and Eddie Murphy through the ranking data available at that point in time. The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Eddie Murphy's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark.

Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Eddie Murphy the larger theatrical footprint. Taken together, the comparison suggests stays evenly split while still showing distinct strengths on each side.
