According to an earnings report published earlier today by Time Warner, HBO revenue has increased 9 percent, to $1.3 billion. Content revenue, in particular, grew 13% ($24 million), driven by strong packaged media sales of Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season.

Time Warner's report also highlights the fact that the fourth season premiere of Game of Thrones reached a gross audience of over 17 million viewers, well above last season's average of 14.4 million viewers

According to the same report, revenues at Warner Bros. increased 14% ($385 million) to $3.1 billion, mainly due to a stronger theatrical slate, led by The LEGO Movie and 300: Rise of an Empire.
