The mouse house’s streaming service has announced a near 4 million jump in total subscribers since the last quarter, it has also jumped from early 2021’s 95 million to now a total of 138 million subscribers. During its late 2019 launch, Disney’s goal was to reach 60 to 90 million subscriptions by 2024. Mission accomplished. They have surpassed that number by a whopping three years in advance. In fact, given the service’s strong momentum, Disney also stated in today’s press release that they now expect 230 million to 260 million total paid subscribers by September 2024. With Netflix having actually lost subscribers this last quarter, which consequently tanked its stock, one can imagine a future where Disney Plus wound surprised the streaming giant in total subscribers — something we would have never thought possible just a few years since its launch. These are the 10 most popular streaming services (by subscribers): During the pandemic’s peak, the average American was streaming 8 hours of content per day and finishing three TV shows per week. Yikes. Given the amount of free time we had, and, for millions out there, still do, these numbers shouldn’t be that surprising. Contribute Hire me
