The biggest hit movies on HBO Max in 2021 that came out as part of Warner Bros. simultaneous release strategy
The biggest hit movies on HBO Max in 2021 that came out as part of Warner Bros. simultaneous release strategy

Warner Bros. released all of its movies this year simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max.
Insider ranked each release by their opening weekend viewership on Max, according to data from the TV measurement firm Samba TV.
The data accounts for Thursday through Sunday viewership unless otherwise noted.
Samba TV counts a view if a household watched at least five minutes of the movie, and the data is limited to connected-TV devices in the US, such as Roku and gaming consoles.
But the data gives solid points of comparison for each movie's performance (Samba TV couldn't provide data for "Reminiscence").
