4. Fatal Attraction 1987, $157M

5. Beverly Hills Cop II 1987, $154M A cop joined cops in Beverly Hills, becoming an unofficial "b.h. cop" due to a shooting and crimes associated with it. editor's note the story was weak and relied on blackxploitation. by weak i dont mean "boring for me" but i refer to the lack of quality noted by both reviewers  and votes less than 50% and less than 60% respectively. its success must have been blackxploitation for people to "prove" they dont hate negroes. similarly: was the story in black pander 2018 the cause for the success? the story was weak but same as this the success wasnot earned by quality story but relied on blackxploitation which worked due to many "suckers" who need to prove "we are not lazy or cowards or racist." the pressure if you dont buy a ticket for a nefro star, you are a racist etc. had effect due to people who let themselves be manipulated, the weak minded herd who did not go because the story was good... analyze that! in fact some would be forced to lie that the story was good even if they felt it was weak due to threat racist that manipulated them... 

for example look at time magazine quote, taken down but preserved "Murphy exudes the kind of cheeky, cocky charm that has been missing from the screen since Cagney was a pup, snarling his way out of the ghetto." the issue of "emerge from ghetto" was revealed as the cause not the story nor the acting. that was from a good review. when others wrote "assumed that a movie will be a hit simply because it stars an enormously talented person." so they did not invest in its quality. even the stretch "enormously talented" indicates the threat of being called a racist. i cant say its bad or they will call me a racist but roger ebert found the compromise dont knock the negro while telling the truth about the movie, even if the actor was barely as talented as any actor for example pryor.

i did not succumb to manipulation that time. i was manipulated once to "prove i am not lazy" but i learnt not to get manipulated. if people say "prove you are not a chicken" the response is not to be manipulated. if you succumb to manipulation THEN you are the coward. "if i would let you manipulate me i would be a coward." lazy? i only prove to myself not prove to you. and dont even say anything to people who try to manipulate you by calling you racist. they are as SHALLOW as "family guy"  both a joke... barely a joke.

next 139<140<150 far less than 154m different category. similarly for categorizing largest islands and categories by relative size.
