Looking over these #'s, I can see why ID has a few releases.

Independence Day -
Domestic: $306,169,268 37.5%
+ Foreign: $510,800,000 62.5%
= Worldwide: $816,969,268

True Lies -
Domestic: $146,282,411 38.6%
+ Foreign: $232,600,000 61.4%
= Worldwide: $378,882,411

Broken Arrow
Domestic: $70,770,147 47.1%
+ Foreign: $79,500,000 52.9%
= Worldwide: $150,270,147

The Abyss
Domestic: $54,251,196 60.4%
+ Foreign: $35,539,051 39.6%
= Worldwide: $89,790,247


But, if you were to figure the # of releases for the amount of money made...

ID got a release for every $163,393,853.60 it made. That means that True Lies should have another release soon. Broken Arrow is lucky to have a release. And The Abyss should have .55 releases. I know all these movies have been out for different amounts of time (The Abyss -1989, True Lies - 1994, Broken Arrow - 1996, And Independence Day - 1996) but they all were out before DVD releases started. The funny part is, I think The Abyss has three releases!

James Cameron doesn't want to re-release True Lies due to "politically correct" reasons.

I can't believe this to be true. I haven't seen any solid evidence where James Cameron has said that he's ashamed of the film or that he's stopping its re-release on DVD. He's said that it's no longer as "fun," I believe, but it's still a popular film. Like The Abyss (and, in a different regard [as he didn't direct it], Strange Days), Cameron has just been dragging his feet with regards to remastering. Why? HD, perhaps? Sales? Special edition content? Maybe...but I can't believe that it's strictly reasons of political correctness.

Unless you have evidence or quotes? Then I'll believe it.
