Disney Posts Impressive Quarterly Earnings of EUR 3.4 Billion
Get your popcorn ready! Disney's just dropped a blockbuster quarterly profit announcement, reporting an impressive $3.4 billion (that's nearly $3 billion for the non-mathematicians out there) at the beginning of this year. But what's the secret sauce behind this staggering success?
Turns out, more folks are tuning into Disney+ than expected, and they're spending more time (and money) at Disney theme parks. So, the avid Mickey Mouse fans flocked to Disney's streaming service, helping the company add an extra 1.4 million subscribers, bringing the grand total to a mighty 126 million paying users. And guess what? They weren't expecting that kind of growth – not even close!
Disney+ is part of Disney's entertainment division, which also includes movie studios and cable channels. Guess what? Even those businesses are on a roll, generating nearly $11 billion in revenue! But wait, there's more – Disney's also got ESPN+ and theme parks in its arsenal, and they're doing their part too. In fact, Disney's already planning another Disneyland in Abu Dhabi – the seventh one in total!
Now, let's delve a little deeper into the financials. Since we don't have specific figures for Q1 2023, let's take a quick look at Q1 2025 instead – just to give you an idea. During that period, Disney+ experienced growth, bringing in more subscribers than expected. In fact, the total subscriber count for both Disney+ and Hulu combined surpassed projections.
