The
average cost per episode is around $6 million. The Battle of Blackwater
Bay episode costed around $8 million. So for a season having 10
episode, we are looking around at a budget of $60 million- $70 million.
So that’s the expenditure of HBO per season of The Game of Thrones.
Now
for the income, HBO subscription charges are about $10 per subscription
per month. According to the stats around 30–40 million people are
subscribed to it, so that makes the monthly income of HBO around $300
million to $400 million and that’s just the subscription income. Each
season of GoT runs for 10 weeks, which is about 2 and a half months.
Therefore you require at least 3 months subscription to watch it. That
makes the income $900 million to $1.2 billion.
A
good chunk of its income also comes from selling of DVDs and show
merchandise like t-shirts, hoodies, prop swords and armours and other
collectibles. Each season DVD of GoT sells for $60 on the HBO website.
So if someone wants the complete series till now he has to spend $420.
If even 1 million people buy DVDs, that’s $420 million straight into
HBO’s pockets.
