        Big time. -- nm - Shaun Nov 13, 09:57
  - They have Endgame, but it sounds like IW might've been licensed elsewhere (Netflix?) with exclusive rights. - Beryllium Nov 13, 09:48
- They had already given up rights to IW is my guess. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 09:45
- probably along the lines of 'whatever we haven't licensed to someone else.' -- nm - mafic Nov 13, 09:44 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 09:50

- They were hoping for five million. For comparison, ESPN+ has 3.5 million after 19 months. -- nm - David Nov 13, 09:19 14
  - but what will Espn have after today with the new budle deal. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 09:44 2

      - how many times do you eat out a month? -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 09:46 1
        
        312.5 times. -- nm - Shaun Nov 13, 09:50
    - For comparison, Netflix has about 150 million from what I see. -- nm - zunkskunk Nov 13, 09:24 3
      - As the article says, Netflix has 60 million subscribers in the United States. So, Disney getting to 10 million this fast is pretty stunning. -- nm - David Nov 13, 09:30 2
        
        Ah, sorry. Netflix now has 158.3 million subscribers globally. Dis+ probably gets this family soon. - zunkskunk Nov 13, 09:42 1
        
        Heh, no worries. I'm just marveling right now. I was one of the most ardent proponents of Disney+, and even I'm stunned by this number. -- nm - David Nov 13, 10:00
