Disney is legitimately the only company that has the library to make this a valid chance. And they seem hellbent on fucking it up by spending

on shit no one wants. See Willow.
Well, not see Willow because they took it off the service because it helped so little, the residuals were too much for them bother with.
Those other studios are terrible because they don't have the depth of material and I've said that since Day 1. They've done so well that we are now re-inventing cable bundling.
But that's not a sign that Disney figured out streaming -- Disney figured out they have the library to sustain consumer interest. As such, they damn sure should be maximizing every revenue stream since it's not the network that's worth a damn; it's the content.
Instead, they've managed to undercut one of the major (4.4bil+ in 2019) revenue streams by shrinking the release window in hopes those last few millions people want to sign up.
Reality is, they'd get those people in 5-6 months anyhow because the only place to see Disney movies is Disney+ after it's out of the theater. And we have generations of proof that Disney's name is enough to get people to catch product 2nd-hand.
Hint: If you're not wanting to sign up for Classic Disney / Star Wars / Pixar / MCU / etc etc...the odds a single property are going to make you do it slim.
Enter Taylor. As indicated, she's a rarity. So...maximize every revenue stream and still build that library which is the actual selling point of Disney+.
