The Disney+ streaming service appears to be on a meteoric rise until it (according to the numbers) has overtaken one particular Netflix. You should remember that.
In addition to the fact that Disney+ will increase its prices, as we were able to tell you in this news, we can also learn that Mickey’s streaming platform has just overtaken Netflix in terms of the number of subscribers. Disney flexes its muscles by announcing that it has reached 221.1 million subscribers worldwide. However, Netflix, which is the industry veteran, would be 220.67.
Disney narrowly dominates
The difference is obviously very small, but still quite symbolic and symptomatic. Over the past few months, we’ve known that Netflix is gradually losing subscribers, and it’s clearly not Disney’s rapid rise that will help. It has to be said that for some time now the platform has been hitting very hard with Star Wars and Marvel behemoths that are very difficult to keep up with. For example, the final episode of the Obi-wan Kenobi series attracted 1.8 million viewers between Wednesday June 22 and Sunday June 27, 2022.
Numbers that will make your head spin, especially since Disney has many other highly anticipated shows in the pipeline, like one in particular daredevil (which used to be on Netflix, so what…). Be careful though, the Mickey company cheats a bit and also counts all of their platforms (Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ for sports) to come to this conclusion.
It’s no less impressive when you know that the streaming platform is still very new (2019).
