Disney + reaches 50 million subscriptions

It is very true that the premiere of Disney + had generated a lot of expectations in Europe. Bill volume and quality of your content has been, and is being its main attraction. Have material from big franchises like Marvel, Pixar or National Geographic It attracted the attention not only of the little ones. Before its launch, some criticized it, alluding to the fact that it would not be a serious rival to existing platforms because it only had content for children, but it has been shown that this is not the case.

Since its launch back in the month of November, until his recent arrival in Europe, the platform experienced significant growth. Which only spoke well of the satisfactory experience of the first to enjoy Disney +. Not in vain, in those months reached up to 26,5 million subscribers. Much more than your competitors could expect.

Disney + grows faster than Netflix

Since the premiere of Disney+ in European territory the figures have done nothing but go up. To the point of double the number of active subscribers. From the end of March until now Disney + has reached 50 million subscriptions. Numbers still very far from those that Netflix treasures. But that in view of the time it has taken Disney to have 50 million, The more than 160 million current Netflix subscriptions worldwide don't seem so far away.

We cannot consider Netflix and Disney + to be direct rivals in view of the cataloging of the content they offer. It is very easy for them to live well without one stepping on content to another. There is an age range that covers each of them although in both we can find content for all publics, Netflix has much more material for those over 18 years old. But although they did not "get along", given that each of them have a cost, Disney € 6,99 / month, it is possible that many families have to decide to have one of them to the detriment of the other.

The truth is that Disney + has been a real success and it's already the streaming content platform that has grown the most in less time since its premiere. It is still too early to see what will be its position on the podium of the most viewed, or the platform with the most subscribers. Everything will depend on the content update of each one of them. Competition is always good for users, but until the first year we will not have really reliable data.
