Godzilla Vs. Kong Leads To Huge Surge In HBO Max Subscriber Numbers Warner Bros.’ decision to send the entire 2021 slate of movies to HBO Max the same day they hit theaters proved to be hugely controversial within the industry, and many of the studio’s contracted talents openly blasted the move, but with each passing month, it’s looking more and more like it was a smart call. Godzilla vs. Kong not only decimated every major pandemic-era record at the box office with an opening five-day haul of over $48 million, but it’s also led to a huge spike in subscriber numbers for the streaming service. According to the latest data, the platform has enjoyed one of its strongest ever weeks in terms of new customers in the seven days since the newest chapter in the MonsterVerse was added to the library.
