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.
In every way possible Gump beat Shawshank Redemption.
