Everything Everywhere All At Once had a budget in the $14M to $25M range, for a $141M box office. The Batman made $771M from a $185M-$200M budget, and Multiverse of Madness made $959M off a $294M budget.
EEAAO is a AA, maybe an A film where Batman and MoM are AAA, you couldn’t even produce The Batman or MoM with all the revenue from EEAAO. Nonetheless, EEAAO was by far the most successful of the three, both in terms of critical acclaim and in terms of return on investment.
Likewise, Hearthstone is definitely not a AAA game. It’s deliberately a much smaller product than Blizzard’s other games. Cities Skyline is the product of a tiny 30ish person company, published by a publisher famous for lower profile, lower production value games.
Paradox as a publisher is about the same tier as A24: Very successful in their respective niches, but not their industries’ 800-pound gorillas.
Genshin impact though is definitely in the AAA category, it pulls in billions and had an initial budget (they put out constant updates) of $100M
I dunno what your definition of AAA is but Cities: Skyline, Hearthstone, Genshin Impact?
