However, other players are forced to react. According to preliminary data, after the announcement from WarnerMedia in Disney, ViacomCBS and other companies, emergency meetings were held at which changes in the market were discussed.
However, at Mickey mouse have their trump cards up their sleeve. Sources say Collider, Disney is already discussing the possibility of combining Disney + and Hulu into a single streaming platform that some have ironically called Disney 18+…
Disney + is targeting a younger audience, while Hulu has tougher content. The problem is that Hulu’s audience growth is well below Disney +, even though it’s boosted by content from Channel FX (36.6 million viewers versus 73.7 million).
The merger will make Disney look more attractive to investors, as it is the success in the streaming market that is now keeping Mickey Mouse stock afloat. Officials at Hulu have denied such plans, but recent personnel changes and announcements from Disney suggest otherwise.
In particular the film Deadpool 3 will receive an adult R rating, and a new one is in development “Predator“. In addition, there is a whole library of films from Fox (“Alien“,”Toughie“and so on), which can significantly strengthen the position of Disney +.
