We have internal data that shiws JUST 1,200 new subscribers signed up for HBO MAX, Since No subscriber data has been supplied yet for HBO Max to the public would be embarrassing if the facts came out, but AT&T will release a fake progress report that will include existing HBO subscribers and adding employees free accounts when it reports second-quarter earnings on July 23. Internal projections have been modest around the Max launch compared with Disney+ 54Million New Subscribers.

"Somebody gonna get fired over this one."
You mean promoted, when was the last time someone in teh c-suite got fired over a failure?
What would you expect. Management here puts more work and resources into layoffs and re-orgs than their own products.
sensortower.com - you can search on an app such as HBO Max and see the cumulative download numbers and user ratings reported by both Google Play and Apple Store.
What you should really do after that is read the 68 pages of comments.
First impressions matter and we rank with Quibi on the disappointment scale.
Somebody gonna get fired over this one.
I have roku. Cannot watch it on my tv without an roku app.
They were hyping that up for months and it’s just a disappointment. Nothing new, nothing exciting, the search engine s—s and they are making everything politically correct by their own definition. No thanks.
HBO Max offers nothing I would want . 20 to 60 year old shows is not something that is sellable. I mean everyone has scene Friends a thousand times in reruns if they like it,and taking the guns out bugs bunny cartoons wont help sales !! Wake up mgt !!!
A third of the content should be of the racy, adult variety. Get the people hooked
1200 new subs - wow - I guess that family, employee and friends isn't working to well.
Not surprising at all. Prior to the 'big' launch, did you see any advertising? Any social media posts? Anything? I sure as hell didn't. Add to the confusion of multiple HBO products, and NO support for Firestick or Roku, it has failure written all over it.
Now they are backtracking and trying to consolidate all the HBO products....AFTER launch. They should be laying off the individuals responsible for this utter failure.........
I wonder what the subscriber count will be after all the cuts this week
HBO MaX tRending on Twitter and not in a good way...
fake news. numbers are much higher
I doubt taking away the Marvel movies helps. How is it 'Max' when they start taking away one of the biggest reasons many people signed up?
You mean DC Universe movies right?
Cause Marvel is Disney+
Why did AT&T name it’s streaming service after an existing product! That’s like naming a Lexus a Camary Max!! They have some real geniuses in marketing!

And joining the knee-bender crowd and restricting a classic like Gone With The Wind just to virtue signal how 'woke' you are is not good business at all. Politically correct censoring is never good business in a democratic capitalism.
