HBO has 54 million subscribers and spent $2bn on new content last year.
My friend Pat Keane tweeted this out last month:
The Netflix juggernaut: 120 million global subs, 50% of U.S. time streaming, $8 billion 2018 content budget. Competitor content budgets: Apple $1 billion, Hulu $2.5 billion, Amazon Studios $4.5 billion.
