Disney+ Already Has Over 10 Million Sign-Ups
There were several indications Disney (NYSE: DIS) would have a massive launch for its highly anticipated Disney+ streaming service. A pre-launch promotion led to a server crash. Survey after survey indicated extremely high consumer interest. And in the first few hours of the service's debut on Tuesday, Disney faced serious technical failures.
The results are in. Disney counts over 10 million sign-ups for its brand-new streaming service -- well beyond anyone's expectations.
To be sure, many of Disney's early subscribers are on discounted plans. They may have signed up for the discounted 3-year promotion Disney ran over the summer, or they may have qualified for a free year through their Verizon subscription. In addition, others may have signed up for the 7-day free trial just to see what all the hoopla's about and don't plan to stick around next week. But there's no doubt 10 million sign-ups is an extremely impressive debut.
