I was wondering where the making of Hawkeye was.

Wow. Weak February after Boba Fett ends.

I agree, the content pipeline still isn't consistent.

Christine had mentioned Q4 of this year (aka July-Oct 1) would be the first time all five brands would provide content at once.

With the Disney stock sell-off spurned by Netflix's bad report, I'm curious as to whether or not they're planning to lower 2024 sub targets.

 

[Disney Irish]

With the Disney stock sell-off spurned by Netflix's bad report, I'm curious as to whether or not they're planning to lower 2024 sub targets.

You stated the same thing in the Stock thread.....

Why do you think they can't meet the 2024 targets for D+?

In reality they already beat their original 2024 goal within the first 16 months of operation. D+ still has a lot of growth especially in emerging markets where Star and D+ are bundled and recently launched. And so by 2024 they should have over 200M subs, which is why their revised goal was 230M-260M, which should be doable. We'll see how it goes.

Netflix is pretty saturated in the markets they are in. Netflix ain't the only game in town anymore, and the subs are reflecting that. But they too will rebound as time goes on.

The real question is who is going to hit 300M subs first, D+ or Netflix. If you had asked that in 2019 at D+ launch you'd say Netflix. But with the growth of D+ over the last 2 years its now any ones ball game. It'll be interesting to watch.

[Disney Irish]

Interesting they are leaning heavily into the adult side outside of the US, especially with the tag line "Stories you'd expect + Stories you wouldn't".

Wondering if that is an indication of the direction longer term for the platform overall.

For the UK, D+ includes Star.

 

[Disney Irish]

For the UK, D+ includes Star.

Yes I know, but you know I've (and several others) long suspected that D+ in the US will have the combined platform as well once Hulu is fully under Disney's control in 2024.

Point is that we could be seeing an indication of the future of US D+ too.

It's *almost* here in the U.S.

Anyone with a HULU+Live account is automatically switched to THE BUNDLE.

And The Bundle is available for anyone to get D+, ESPN, and HULU at a discount, at whatever level of HULU you want (ad, no ad, Live).

It's the "live TV" aspect of HULU that will keep it separated, even when Disney takes full control. The library on HULU consists of many non-Disney studios (like Netflix and Amazon). And, of course, the livestreaming and recording of various broadcast and cable channels just wouldn't work under the Disney+ umbrella.

It's going to be The Bundle for a long time...

You keep saying that.....

And yet we can see what is happening longer term.....

Remember when D+ was announced so many here thought that Disney would NEVER have any adult content on the same platform, because of the "brand". Some of us, myself included, predicted that wouldn't be the case that it would be all under one even if that meant parental controls. And yet here we are 2 years later seeing it done outside the US. The writing is on the wall, eventually it'll all be under one platform even if it takes a few more years. I even suspect that Hulu may even get a rebranding to Star after 2024.

The "live TV" aspect isn't as big an issue as you think it is. Cable providers have been doing it for decades without issue. Heck I can stream live shows directly on my cable providers app without a problem. So why wouldn't Disney be able to do the same thing with a D+/Hulu combined app, it just takes licensing and carriage agreements to be in place. The only thing holding it back at this point appears to be the 2024 time line, after that who knows.

 

[MarvelCharacterNerd]

Anecdotal to only me - I wanted Disney+ and Hulu. Not ESPN. I got Disney+ and skipped the bundle. I don't want the bundle. I will never want the bundle.

For the holidays, they offered Hulu for .99/mo for one year. I took it, because that's what I want and what I'm willing to pay for it as an add-on essentially to Disney+. When my year is up, I will drop Hulu. And still never buy the bundle. But if they gave me the option to keep Hulu as a Disney+ add-on indefinitely for $1/mo, I'd've chosen to keep it. Their $ and subscriber # loss that they won't give some of us what we want when we are willing to pay for it. But I'm not going to pay for what I don't want.

[Disney Irish]

Anecdotal to only me - I wanted Disney+ and Hulu. Not ESPN. I got Disney+ and skipped the bundle. I don't want the bundle. I will never want the bundle.

For the holidays, they offered Hulu for .99/mo for one year. I took it, because that's what I want and what I'm willing to pay for it as an add-on essentially to Disney+. When my year is up, I will drop Hulu. And still never buy the bundle. But if they gave me the option to keep Hulu as a Disney+ add-on indefinitely for $1/mo, I'd've chosen to keep it. Their $ and subscriber # loss that they won't give some of us what we want when we are willing to pay for it. But I'm not going to pay for what I don't want.

I agree if you don't want ESPN+ you shouldn't have to have it.

In the future (2024 and beyond) I see the packages being reformulated, a movie package with D+/Hulu, a movie package plus Live TV with D+/Hulu Live, and a all-in-one package with D+/Hulu Live with ESPN+.
