    With those numbers I’d guess TotK was more profitable. Movies have a huge amount of production costs and some of those groups take percentages of total revenue and/or profit. Especially considering TotK was a first party game, so it had even fewer parties invested, it was probably higher margins.

      there is an estimation i saw about the development cost of Breath of the Wild, at somewhere between 80 and 120 million USD. Breath of the Wild was 4 years in Development, Tears of the Kingdom spent 6 years in Development.
      above 120 million for Tears of the Kingdom doesn’t seem unreasonable.

      Mario Movie was 100 Million.

      Anyway, both are stupidly profitable for Nintendo
