Bubba Gump Shrimp out-earns the movie it was based on

Shaan relays a Doug Ludlow tweet: the Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant chain does $200-300M a year, while Forrest Gump grossed about $700M lifetime at the box office. The licensed brand has earned more than the film itself.

“isn't it crazy that Bubba Gump Shrimp, the restaurant chain, does like $200 or $300 million a year in revenue, um, when Forrest Gump, the movie that the brand is based on, did like $700 million like lifetime box office?”
