Management has been focusing on new projects to boost the top line and compete with projects of competitors like Disney (DIS - Free Report) , Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) and Amazon’s (AMZN - Free Report) prime.
 
Netflix has the widest variety of content and has worldwide accessibility with only one negative aspect of being expensive compared with its competitors. Amazon prime on the other hand offers other benefits apart from streaming but its original content is not as good as Netflix.

Upcoming projects of HBO Max are Mortal Kombat, The Last of US, Perry Mason would give stiff competition to Netflix’s Murder Mystery 2, You: Season 4, Still Time and Amazon’s The Boys, DOM, Citadel and Disney’s Star Wars: Visions, Loki Season 2, Ironheart.
