But which did better, and by how much over the other?

at 69.99 a game, would mean the total volume sold is roughly $1.295 billion, 60 million less than the Super Mario Movie.
~~I'm not certain if the movie gross is the same calculation though.~~ It seems that the calculation is fair But data for Tears of the Kingdom is about a month older so that it seems possible it passed The Super Mario Movie by now.
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
