The budget for "Forrest Gump" is estimated to be $55,000,000 and grossed a whopping $678,226,465 worldwide ($623,226,465 profit). On the other hand, the budget for "The Shawshank Redemption" is estimated to be $25,000,000 and grossed $28,884,716 worldwide, which is significantly worse in comparison to Forrest Gump ($3,884,716 profit). So, yes, Forrest Gump beat out The Shawshank Redemption in terms of profit and budget. However, the quality difference is a different matter and it is subjective. In my personal opinion, The Shawshank Redemption is superior to Forrest Gump but ultimately it is up for debate.
