The streaming services have been shelling out BIG bucks to have the on-demand rights to shows . . . and now,
HBO Max
has set the bar HIGHER THAN EVER.
The
“Hollywood Reporter”
says
HBO Max paid “BILLIONS of dollars” for the exclusive streaming rights to all 12 seasons of
“The Big Bang Theory”
for five years. The exact amount hasn’t been announced.
The service will debut sometime next spring.
Earlier this year, HBO Max paid $425 million over five years ($85 million per year) to steal
“Friends”
from Netflix.
