Disney+ Scores 10 Million Sign-Ups

Disney has announced that its freshly launched Disney+ streaming service has clocked up ten million sign-ups to the service in its first 24 hours. That’s a bigger number than an independent research firm indicated earlier today suggesting the Disney+ app was downloaded 3.2 million times on...

Free for a whole year with Verizon so why not.

 

[Punished Miku]

Not me bitches!

... I'll probably try it out after Mandalorian is done for a month. Then cancel and wait for several Marvel shows to stockpile.

 

[MoFuzz]

Cool, how many of those subs did they pay for themselves?

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Happy with my sub. Cheap deal. Good value.

when HBO Max launches I’ll be all set with Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, and Hulu.

 

[Blade2.0]

Using a friend's Verizon subscription. So that's cool.

 

[Sub_Level]

Rewatched Rogue One. Was a lot better than I remember.

 

[Sp3eD]

I have found more to watch on this in 2 days then I did on Netflix, Hulu, and amazon prime video combined in 2 years.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Verizon free account...hell yeah?

An awful lot of them, since there is a week-long free trial on a standard (non-bundle) signup before you are charged. So this is a bit of counting chickens before they are hatched. That said, that's an awful lot of signups.

I paid for a year straight up. I figured it would take us that long to get through the back content before we started running out of things to watch.

They included a very deep selection at launch and I feel unless they start looking at Touchstone and Fox there isn’t a lot more for them to add.

They hit all the big ones for my, though my 14 year old who used to love a Disney Channel said they are Missing Sonny with a Chance, ANT Farm, Life with Derek and Bunk’d.

There is really something for everyone on there right now.

 

[brap]

Wake me up when they put The Brave Little Toaster and My Date With The President's Daughter on there.

They don’t own the Brave Little Toaster and I agree they need it, they have the 2 sequels, but not the best one.

Wtf how? It's a Disney movie.

 

[Kagey K]

Wtf how? It's a Disney movie.

Apparently the first one is owned by Universal even though Disney made it, it was back when they did production but not distribution, they need to buy back distribution rights for them to put it on D+

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I was going to sign up but then heard they didnt have Home Alone. I didnt even know Home Alone was Disney, but apparently it is. So once I can stream it, I'll sub.

Genuinely curious, why are you waiting to pay Disney for one movie made in 1990 when you could just go download it? Surely you'd only subscribe to a streaming service because you're interested in a chunk of the catalogue?

Its the principle. Of course I already have Home Alone, its just the fact that they don't. Disney minus in my book until I can stream it there.

They got 1,2 and 3 on it.

Wuuuut. Well then sign me the f up. Someone told me they didnt.

 

[Blade2.0]

Wuuuut. Well then sign me the f up. Someone told me they didnt.

Just looked again to be sure. All 3 are in it

 

[Birdo]

 

[Sp3eD]

Not that I know the answer, but make sure they are available in your region. The 3 are on my US Disney+ but I don’t know if are There in other countries. I’d hate for you to sign up only to find that out.

 

[JimiNutz]

Wuuuut. Well then sign me the f up. Someone told me they didnt.

 

[Nymphae]

There have been 5 films so far.

You will become one with the borg.mp3

Its Disney only because they bought all the Fox stuff.

It's kinda strange they don't have Anastasia on there yet, though. Thumbelina is there and Anastasia is now a Disney Step-Princess, if you will. I'm guessing adding more back catalog like that to the service over time will be their public rationale for the inevitable price hikes.

 

[Southern Gentleman]

I forgot Rogue One was on there. Now I can watch that for the third time and hope the Mandalorian stays good (they got some super questionable directors for future episodes, but at least Favreau wrote almost all of them).

 

[DeepEnigma]

Cool, how many of those subs did they pay for themselves?

A lot of people use Verizon.

Disney is a juggernaut, regardless.

 

[NickFire]

Free for a whole year with Verizon so why not.

Hey - thank you for posting this. I had no idea and have Verizon. Signing up ASAP.

This looks like a fan mock-up... or it might be a new Sonic Movie.

In comparison it took Netflix longer to hit that and they almost have as many total subs as Hulu (which is 30M) And it's launching in more countries next month.

 

[Kenpachii]

Its a no brainer for most parents with kids.

I got it, only watched mandalorian never anything else tho, but then again netflix is also rolling as sub but barely watch it.

 

[Robot Carnival]

didn't really see a dedicated thread for it so I figure I'll ask on here.

so a friend was over at my place a while ago and ended up installing Disney+ on my PS4. I didn't really use it for a pretty long time since I've already seen most of the stuff they have on that I would be interested, but I started giving it a try recently. after watching a few movies, I did notice something strange. the app would sometimes have delay/snapback during streaming for some reason. I have pretty good speed connection wise and my PS4 is hooked up to a LAN cable so for the most part it's pretty smooth when I play games or watch Netflix on there which is why these hiccups on Disney+ really stands out for me. is this a known issue?
