As Disney+ Turns 1, Streamer Clears 73 Million Subscribers

Disney will reveal international streaming plans Dec. 10

A year ago today, the Disney+ streaming service made its big debut to the public. As of its first anniversary, the crown jewel of Disney’s streaming ambitions has already cleared 73.7 million subscribers, as of Oct. 3, the company said today—signaling the speed at which its efforts to pivot to the direct-to-consumer business are paying off.

That early success serves as a contrast to the legacy portions of the business, which continue to sag under Covid-19’s unrelenting pressure.
