Via Variety:

“American Sniper” is the highest-grossing 2014 domestic release.

The R-rated drama has made $337.2 million since debuting in a handful of theaters last December. That puts it ahead of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ and its $336.8 million haul as the top film to debut last year.

With a budget of $58.8 million, the biopic of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle represents a substantial return on Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow’s investment.

“The heroic story of Chris Kyle just hit the zeitgeist,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. distribution executive vice president. “It doesn’t matter your politics — it’s a story that just touched everybody personally.”
