There were releases in 1939, 1942, 1947, 1954, 1961, 1967, 1971, 1974, 1989, 1998, 2013, and 2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gone_with_the_Wind_(film)#Later_releases

No mention of the theatre count or grossings so it's kinda pointless to discuss re-releases (it could be a handful of theatres for all we know). The 2 that we have data of show a low amount.

Btw, the original Star Wars has releases in 1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982 and 1997.

Go to the section timeline of highest grossing films. You'll see what up to point it got passed by the sound of music. Plus how much it had when it retook the title if highest grossing movie in the US and compare that with the total they show on box office mojo and see that it wasn't all in its first release. 

Or look at Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs they even mention it on box office mojo how it made most of its adjusted gross after 1980.
