[Deadline] Disney+ Subscription Interest Outpacing Initial Company Targets, Report Finds
- Thread starter BringBackSonics
- Start date
It has ALL the Marvel movies and Star Wars movies, right? Lol thats too good to resist. Of course I'm in.
If you're in the US make a D23 account and you can get the three year promo
The pricing being so aggresive is a masterstroke. I pay for cable and I'm still snagging that Hulu + Disney + NatGeo combo.
Which is sad considering how the onslaught of d23 shows and annoucements just kind of depressed me. There's so just much stuff coming all at once, it's hard to get excited about She Hulk when its just thrown in there next to eight million other new shows.
Still, the archive is impossible for me to stay away from at that price point. It's the same reason I stay subscribed to the WWE Network, even though I have major issues with the company and their current product.

I am really surprised that Warner Bros have not gotten their shit in order and merged DC Online with everything Harry Potter , Hanna Barbera, Adult Swim, their New Line stuff including Lord of the Rings, animated stuff like Animaniacs , Tiny Toons, Freekazoid and the whole cartoon catalog and gone all in on a service. They also have alot of horror.
I am in there for The Simpsons and for Disney shorts/animated TV series. And the Mandalorian. Cannot wait.
The $7 price point will have that effect. I know Disney+ will have a price increase in the future but I do hope in the short term it makes Netflix restructure their pricing.
$16 for 4K/UHD is trash.

Funny they're going by chronological orderNope, only these 12 MCU movies.
edit: never mind, only looked at the first four
Nah. I think it's supplemental to Netflix like someone above mentioned. I actually like the original output from Netflix.Netlix right now:
Eventually (in like 3 years) Disney + will be mandatory and part of everything.
When they get back all the rights to the shows and movies held by other platform it's over.
And at this point they probably will be able to make deals with stuff they don't own too.

This bullshit where every studio/company has their own streaming service can't last forever. People are gonna start cutting services and keeping only what they actually watch. Disney has pretty much the children/nostalgic adults market on lockdown.
HBO Max is coming which is Warner. I'm sure it will include a lot of this stuff, at least potentially.
NBC is the one really lagging behind with a 2021 date. Pretty far out.

Why not? I guess they think it would be too good of a value
They were smart to invest two years into developing the service.
Not just because it gave them a ton of time to hype it all up, but it decreases the likelihood that the initial wave of users don't totally destroy the servers.
Granted, I expect that there might still be some early issues because the response is even greater than they expected, but if it's just a relatively gentle speedbump, or none at all, it's gonna be a smashing success.

I think that's a great lineup but still inferior for most people compared to Disney plus. All of adult swim would be amazing for me though.
It won't have all the MCU films at launch because of deals with other services.
Because they still have deals with other streaming services, Netflix mainly. The Spider-Man movies are also owned by Sony.
Actually, the streaming rights for Harry Potter are with NBCUniversal until 2025.
Nope, only these 12 MCU movies.
What's the reason for this? I get them not having Spiderman and the Norton Hulk movie, but why not the rest? Do they still not have streaming right to some Phase 1 films, or are they just going to stagger a release?
Yo it has Thor 2: The Dark World. I'm there.Nope, only these 12 MCU movies.
I totally agree with this. I love WARNER and FOX and PARAMOUNT catalogue of movies, but I just can't see buying more sub services to see library films. People don't realize what a beast of a library APPLE has for purchasing things that you can't find streaming anywhere else. I'm at the point where i'm going to keep Disney+Netflix and kill the rest. If i want to see something old bad enough, I'll just grab it from iTunes. They've got a rental/purchase library that's insane.
even though i shouldnt be, i still find it surprising how people just want to re-watch old stuff.
I'd imagine they could get away with like 10-15 bucks.. and this thing is only $7? Marvel and SW is enough to sell it alone IMO and they've also got all the other Disney movies. Crazy steal
That being said, do they have other, non fantasy content, like original dramas/other genres? I'd imagine if they really wanna start dipping into Netflix sales, they'd have to directly compete on other fronts.

So do we expect the first few days/weeks it's gonna crash and hang and run awful as 90 zillion people start using it at once?
Exactly. I dont see many people getting rid of their netflix just for having Disney+ as their sole streaming service. Nah
For clarification, I meant a 3-year Disney+ and non-gimped Hulu promo.
