Don't have figures on the Chan films but the Weismuller Tarzan films made as much money internationally as they did in the U.S.  Being that not all the Tarzan pics were U.S. made also makes them international productions.  By sustained I guess you mean one continuous series moving from one installment to the next.  On the other hand, despite being made by many hands with many different actors in the role, Tarzan has lasted 97 years and will be back in 2016.  A pretty good run for any movie character.
