Disney+espn+hulu vs. Netflix?
It’s kind sad from where I’m standing...but who do you think will win the battle? https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/11/18306883/disney-hulu-espn-plus-streaming-service-bundle-deal-likely
Netflix could have locked Disney up with distribution rights, but they got greedy.
I’m skeptical disney can pull it off but they have the best shot of all big media to create a solid competitor to Netflix. Netflix should just buy Viacom, cozy up to WB and then they’d kind of have a lock on almost all non-disney kids content.
Why does everyone forget that Disney now owns Fox. Sure without fox they have limited content generation potential, but between Disney and Fox they have plenty. That being said, as long as prices are reasonable people will just stream both.
Wake me up when the gap of subscriber number is shrinking. At the end of 2018, it's 139M vs 0.
Funny, Ballmer said the same thing about the iPhone.
Hulu and espn+ have zero subscribers? Hotstar has 300 million monthly subscribers by itself. Guess who owns them now? The Simpsons alone is enough to beat any original Netflix title and that’s just the beginning of content that will only be available on Disney+
Check IMDB most popular TV shows. How many are owned by Disney and how many are owned by Netflix?
Meh. Streaming content is not a zero sum game. The question isn’t which one will win but how many households will only choose 1 option. I know we will be keeping Netflix and adding Disney+. I don’t see a large percentage of people deciding to cancel Netflix and move entirely over to Disney+, not while Disney is planning on spending a measly $1B in new content for streaming in 2020. Netflix releases a ton of original content (what, $20B/year). Disney has all the old talent. Netflix has all the new talent. Both have value to consumers.

I thought that Disney is producing television and movie content all the time across all their brands and they could just load that up on Disney+. Did you see how many television networks and movie studios they own that are churning out content 24/7/365? Way more than Netflix could ever achieve!

A platform full of re-runs and limited original content, OR a company who now owns an existing streaming platform with a MASSIVE backlog of films with some of the most popular and lucrative franchises of all time and one that could deliver live sports as well. Content is king.
