The launch marks the end of lengthy negotiations, reportedly due to disagreements over the share of revenue from subscriptions and advertising. No financial terms were revealed but the bottom line is that Roku's 46 million users will now have access to the HBO Max app. The launch comes just in time for the Wonder Woman 1984 that will premiere on HBO Max and in theaters on December 25, 2020.
