Walt Disney Co. said Thursday its marquee streaming service Disney+ grew to nearly 95 million subscribers during the first quarter of its fiscal year, while the pandemic continued to weigh on the entertainment giant’s finances.
The Disney+ subscriber count of 94.9 million is up from the 86.8 million the company reported in December. Though a significant portion of Disney+’s subscriber count comes through Disney’s bundle with its Hotstar service in India, the growth represents a positive sign for a service considered key to its future.
