As a non-american I'm more concerned with the second part.

Netflix is ahead of the curve. They already have by far the most people used to being subscribed. They are known as an outlet that content creators WANT to work with (it's a great way to get your show watched by many people, there's more leeway with the censors than if you went to cable). They have a rep for making quality originals.

What could Disney do to make people actually pick up an extra subscription? Are they going to add Disney movies onto the streaming service a week after their theater run ends? Are they going to develop a Star Wars original TV with a budget comparable to House of Cards?

doesnt disney own marvel ? so all marvel out of netflix n on disney stream service?

Marvel Cinematic Universe and Lucasfilms, so yeah.

If I read correctly, this is only movie content, not series shows.

Are they going to stop the Disney Channel on cable?

The article didn't mention that so I assume not. it said :



That makes it sound like their streaming will be only movies, in which case I don't really see any draw for people to sub to that. Now, if they were to stream their movies very quickly after the theatrical run ended, that is something that could get people's attention.

Yeah but I mean it is another important question. Just because the article didn't say it doesn't mean it won't happen. They might do it as a last ditch effort to make their service successful if it ends up failing.
