Listing "the biggest budget Hollywood films slated for release in 2022 or 2023" is literally listing the head, not the tail!
If you want to look at the tail, look at something like the top rated movies of 2022[1]. There the number 1 film is "The Worst Person in the World"[2], a Norwegian romantic comedy with a budget of $5.6M and box office takings of $12.1M.
There's also "Poly Styrene: I Am a Cliché" - a documentary film about Poly Styrene, the lead singer of X-Ray Spex which won a British Independent Film Awards "Best Documentary" award and is soon to be released on Apple TV.
That's what the long tail looks like. Lots of small successes, which in aggregate add up to a lot of people and a lot of money.

CODA was clearly the best film from a list of extremely poor films this year. There were only two good films this year, with The Worst Person in the World, and the too intellectual Drive My Car.
CODA is the third remake of an excellent story, with the second remake, with Luane, being unbeatable in Europe. Nobody in Europe wants to see this attempt, but for the American market it's huge. It was already the biggest film at Sundance. So why not, for their domestic market it's good enough. But that's why the big studios bailed on it.
