Pricing Disney+
Disney decided it wanted to provide streaming services directly to customers, rather than
renting its library of films and television shows to other streaming services like Netflix. But
how successful would a streaming service be? In other words, what did the demand for a
"Disney+" streaming service look like? Disney knew that the number of subscribers would
depend not just on the attractiveness of the Disney archives, but also on the subscription
price. After doing some market research, Disney decided to launch Disney+ at a price of
$6.99 a month (or $69.99 per year). When Disney+ was launched on November 12, 2019,
10 million people signed up on the first day-a resounding success!

company. Then, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the company's profit or loss.
