- It's just me, but I'm a bit pessimistic about Disney+ (granted it probably kills in the people with young kids demo), but more so for WB's and NBC's - MDH Feb 19, 13:50 5
  - I am thinking you are wrong. I hear Logan's (6th grade) friends say their plans for the weekend include "watch a Marvel movie". -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 13:56
  - I think people will become more ruthless about what streaming services they want to subscribe to, and I'd rather be relying on Disney's content than - Roger More Feb 19, 13:55 1
    - Interesting. -- nm - MDH Feb 19, 13:59
  - I already own the DVDs or the digital codes...why would I pay monthly for the shit I can watch anytime for free? - The Commander Feb 19, 13:55 1
    - That was exactly the mentality I was thinking. And they are also on TV like every day. -- nm - MDH Feb 19, 13:59
there must be 21m households with kids playing Frozen on an endless loop, just now the 'rents have to pay for two streaming services -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 13:32 5
- I'll bet you there are at least 15m US households that pay for Hulu and Netflix, and another 10m that also pay for Amazon Prime - Mr. Havens Feb 19, 13:48 4
  - Not sure the crossover, but nearly 60M Netflix subscriptions in the US, and 20M Hulu. -- nm - MDH Feb 19, 13:51 2
    - Some data here - overall, 80% of Netflix subscribers don't subscribe to another service, and 17% also subscribe to Hulu - Roger More Feb 19, 13:59 1
      - I shouldn't be surprised you can find the data for this :-) -- nm - MDH Feb 19, 14:00
  - There's like 8 people that pay for Netflix and they just give out their password to the rest. -- nm - The Commander Feb 19, 13:49
of all of them I think they hit that number pretty quick -- nm - Remlik Feb 19, 13:32 7
- Apparently goal is 2M by year end. But big marketing needed: "50% of American adults "have little or no clue that Disney+" is coming... - MDH Feb 19, 13:35 6
  - I would contrast that with saying that 50% of people knowing about something that doesn't exist yet is big. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 13:57
  - I legit think this won't be a problem. New live action Star Wars tv show at launch I believe. New High School Musical & other Disney shows -- nm - Remlik Feb 19, 13:48
  - Who the hell hasn't at least heard of Netflix? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 19, 13:40
  - I think news of the availability of it would spread pretty quickly among parents. -- nm - Max Feb 19, 13:39 2
    - Oh definitely agreed. That said, it does sound like a marketing push on their TV network is needed. -- nm - MDH Feb 19, 13:40 1
      - Late 2019 launch though, so no reason to do make a real before summer (IMO). -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 13:42
