Summary
9.3 million viewers watched Lanterns worldwide across HBO and HBO Max in its first three days, with 6.6 million of them in the United States.
That U.S. start made it the biggest DC Studios premiere on HBO Max, beating earlier launches for The Penguin, Peacemaker and Creature Commandos.
6.6 million U.S. viewers also topped recent HBO series debuts including IT: Welcome to Derry at 5.7 million and The Penguin at 5.3 million, trailing only A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms at 6.7 million over three days.
Lanterns stars Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, whose premiere episode follows an investigation in Nebraska into a mass shooting Jordan believes may involve aliens.
Recent comparison titles all reached at least 17.5 million viewers over their first 90 days, setting an early benchmark for how Lanterns could perform longer term.
