“HBO Max is "two years ahead" of WarnerMedia's goal of 75 million - 90 million subscribers worldwide by 2025.”

Follow-up

The corporate vehicle changed (WarnerMedia became Warner Bros. Discovery in 2022, and Kilar exited in the merger), but the trajectory he called held: WBD reported 97.7 million global streaming subscribers at the end of 2023 - above the 90 million ceiling, two years before the 2025 deadline, exactly the lead time Kilar claimed. Caveat: the post-merger figure combines Max and discovery+.
