I don't know...something doesn't feel right about this. Eddie Murphy's 1988 film, "Coming To America," grossed $128,152,301 million domestically($255,818,208 million when adjusted for inflation) and $160 million non-domestic($319 million adjusted) - and that's an all black film.
His 1996 film, "The Nutty Professor," grossed $128,814,019($193.8 million adj) and $145,147,000 non-domestic($218,461,499 adj.) - another predominately black film.

The Beverly Hills Cop movies also did well internationally.
People have already mentioned the international success of Will Smith. So either Eddie and Will are somehow rare exceptions to the rule, or they were the only black men to get a fair shot in terms of international marketing/promotion. If they are infact rare exceptions, then I have to ask - what makes them so exceptional? Especially Eddie Murphy to the point where international audiences are willing to support his predominately black films("Coming To America" and "The Nutty Professor") in mass numbers in the '80s and '90s nontheless? Something about that doesn't quite add up.
@ the fact that their buddy buddy exec that talks to them daily, send racist emails about them to his other executive friends.
