I can vouch for the trends on the International market as it is my job to know these trends... There is practically no market for "black films". A black cast will have trouble selling abroad.
That said, the film has Will Freakin' Smith in it... Sales may be less brisk than usual but it will still sell.
The real issue is that this was a Romantic Comedy... no one batted an eye when Will was linked to Rosario Dawson in Men in Black II or, as pointed out, in Ali. The genres have everything to do with it...
