Worth noting that they're surpassing Netflix by including ESPN+ and Hulu subs, so many customers are getting double or triple counted. It isn't just Disney+. Also, Disney has made a lot of partnerships to promote and sell subscriptions, such as through Verizon, which is usually how they end up growing their numbers so quickly. They usually include guaranteed minimums and I'm not sure how that's affecting this number. If I were an analyst, I'd love to know what percentage of subscriptions are coming through those deals, as they don't tend to create sticky customers.
Still an impressive achievement given how relatively new the service is, though. It's a testament to what a well oiled machine Disney is and their ability to pivot into new services.
