When Disney+ was announced at $6.99/mo, it was shockingly low.

The goal was to price it where they could get 60-90 million subscribers in the first 5 years.
57.5 million paid subscribers after just 8 months... ?https://t.co/eWAmxPxlYc pic.twitter.com/qDiXLJKrG6
Disney says it has 100 million paid subscribers across its various streaming services (ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, Hulu, Hotstar, etc.) but Disney may be double-counting subscribers assuming households subscribe to more than one Disney product. https://t.co/QLPIFWGNcz

The fact they are charging so much for this proves that streaming services cannot (yet) earn the money cinemas can. https://t.co/9ARbLgKauA

I had kept expecting (because Disney kept saying!) that Hulu would soon begin launching in other countries as Disney’s home for “too edgy for Disney+” content, but now this whole Star thing is a big curveball. Good round up on what we know (and don’t) from @loudmouthjulia here. https://t.co/C8VaqwmqCt

A reminder: theaters take a decent portion of sales revenue from the studios. PVOD through Amazon/iTunes can give the studios about ~80 percent revenue.

This will give Disney 100% of revenue, 100% of user data, 100% control. That's everything.

Bob Chapek in May: "Frankly we, long term, are still bullish about Hulu international," but because of the pandemic, timing is up in the air.

Disney+ got 60Mn+ customers so fast ! https://t.co/vF9Q75mLy8
Perhaps only Disney could swing to a $5 billion loss with almost all of its businesses closed -- and coolly package it with news that results in a 5 percent stock bump. Full story: https://t.co/FhEjkrsTiS

60.5Mの数字は流石だなあ。一気に最重要チャネルになったし。やっぱり少数の超最良質コンテンツを提供するという、ユーザーの時間を無駄に奪わないアプローチを極めて欲しいhttps://t.co/cIx34KApMW

Is this the future? Disney loses heaps of money but Disney Plus is through the roof. @brooksbarnesNYT fill us in. https://t.co/s0AihFOaA9
