Even though the pandemic lockdowns totally hindered the company’s original roll-out plans for shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision, among others, Disney’s content library featured more than enough new and classic material to draw millions upon millions of customers as the months went by.
Currently, Disney+ has amassed a subscriber base of around 86.8 million, which is far higher than anyone in the company expected so quickly.
At this point, Disney+ is projected to hit $1.94 billion in revenue just for 2020, one of the most polarizing years that has ever year-ed.
Everyone staying inside so often absolutely helped drive audience growth, and it definitely didn’t hurt that the streaming service launched with as strong an original series as The Mandalorian.
