Netflix announces it added the most subscribers in its history during the first quarter of 2019, bringing its total to almost 149M subscribers.

, was watched by 45 million member households in its first month, while “Triple Frontier,” an action movie starring Ben Affleck, was watched by over 52 million households during the first month of its availability. “The Highwaymen,” starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, is also projected to be viewed by 40 million member households in its first month.

Partners such as content makers and talent agencies have been trying to get Netflix to release performance data since the company shares very little in terms of viewership numbers. On Tuesday,, a powerful Hollywood talent agency, signed a deal with measurement compa Parrot Analytics to help gain understanding about how popular subscription video shows are. Audience measurement company Nielsen has also been compiling data about Netflix audiences.

Netflix said in its investor letter than neither Apple nor Disney would materially affect its growth, “because the transition from linear to on demand entertainment is so massive and because of the differing nature of our content offerings.” Netflix still accounts for roughly 10 percent of total television viewing hours in the U.S., the company said, adding that it still has room to grow.
