On February 11, according to techcrunch, with the help of popular films such as "Mandalorian" and "Black Widow", Disney+ subscribers added 11.8 million strongly in the first fiscal quarter. Disney bundled Disney+ and ESPN+ with The Hulu Live service to boost growth.

Michael Nathanson, an analyst at investment bank Moffett Nathanson, stressed that having 2 million subscriptions is the result of an automated bundle with Hulu Live. Another 2.6 million subscriptions came from Disney+ Hotstar, generating about $1 per month per user.

As of the end of 2021, Disney+ has 129.8 million total subscribers, while Netflix's total paid memberships are about 222 million, which shows that Disney still has a certain gap with Netflix in terms of total subscribers.
