After being released in December, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is finally out of all North American theaters, finishing its domestic run at $936.6 million. While some superhero blockbuster films hope for a worldwide gross of $1 billion, Episode VII nearly accomplished that feat with just its home court numbers. That's especially impressive give the current state of box office revenue splits, which typically fall in the 30% domestic/70% international range. From an estimated production budget of $245 million, the film has grossed $2.068 billion worldwide for a 45% domestic/55% international split.
Given how close the film is to crossing the $1 billion dollar mark domestically, should Disney re-release the film in theaters? Perhaps they should do so a few weeks before the release of Episode VIII?
