Disney announced that its subscription streaming service Disney+ has passed 50 million paid subscribers worldwide. This comes five months after the video service first launched in the US in November 2019 and follows the recent expansion to India and western Europe.
The company said the initial figures bode well for further expansion throughout Western Europe and into Japan and all of Latin America later this year.
In the past two weeks, Disney+ rolled out in eight Western European countries including the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria and Switzerland. Additionally, Disney+ became available last week in India, where it is offered in conjunction with the existing Hotstar service, and already accounts for around 8 million of Disney+’s 50 million paid subscribers.
