Disney+ Reaches 50 Million <br />Paid Subscribers Globally Disney launched the streaming <br />service last November. On February 3, Disney revealed that the <br />service had 28.6 million subscriptions. The jump to 50 million appears to <br />place the company well ahead of their <br />target to attain 90 million global users by 2024. Disney+ may reach that <br />goal by the end of 2020. Despite the good news, <br />Disney+ does face some obstacles <br />in regards to retaining subscribers. Many U.S. users will see <br />Verizon's free one-year offer <br />end when 2020 wraps up. Former Disney CEO Bob Iger said earlier this year <br />that Verizon accounts for one-fifth <br />of the Disney+ base. The COVID-19 outbreak may also strain the streamer's <br />ability to pump out new content in the near future.
