澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus lost four million subscribers in the opening three months of this year, which is its second conse⛄cutive drop in subscribers, per . The streamer dropped 2.4 million subscribers in the closing three months of 2022. 

Disney finished up the first quarter of 2023 with 157.8 million subscribers, down from its 161.8 million at the end of 2022, contributed to by a 4.6 mi⛦llion drop on Disney Plus Hotstar, and a 300,000 loss in𝓰 the US and Canada. But, around 1 million subscribers were added overseas in markets that don't include Hotstar. 

In an earn♊ings call, Disney's CFO Christine McCarthy revealed that "certain content" will be removed from the company's streamers, with Dis🌞ney anticipating this will lead to a third quarter writedown of between $1.5 and $1.8 billion. 

Warner Bros. Discovery made headlines for a similar strategy of removing content, most notably with the cancelation of Batgirl – despite the film already꧋ having been🌼 shot

McCarthy also added that, "going forward we intend to produce lower volumes of content in alignment with this strategic shift," though the cutbacks mostly wonꦿ't go into effect until 2024 since so much has already been set for 2023. 

The news may come as some surprise as Disney's Star Wars juggernaut 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian season 3 began streaming in February. Disney Plus still has the likes of Star Wars show Ahsoka and Marvel series 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Loki season 2 and Secret Invasion to come this year. Kevin Feige has already indicated that the 澳♕♍洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:MCU will slow down on Disney Plus shows following a jam-packed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Phase 4, which seems to align neatly with a new coꦯntent strategy for Disney🦂 Plus. 

Shows like Ironheart, Echo, and Daredevil: Born Again still don't have release dates, while Star Wars also has Skeleton Crew, The Acolyte, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Andor season 2 still to come. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:WGA writers' strike co🌱uld complicate things further if it causes release date delay꧒s, but that remains to be seen.
