Disney will host an investor event on its Burbank lot, revealing a host of information about its planned streaming service. By Steven Zeitchik Steven Zeitchik Reporter covering the business of entertainment in the U.S. and beyond Email Bio Follow April 10 at 5:18 PM LOS ANGELES — It’s easy to understand why interest in Disney’s streaming service has swirled since chief executive Robert Iger announced it in 2017.
What we don’t know are answers to larger questions, such as how it will fit in the larger Disney digital offerings, including ESPN+, and how much it will be able to disrupt the streaming business generally. Sure, there’s Hulu, aggregating the content of the biggest content providers with a sprinkling of new shows. And there’s CBS All Access, which has gone for a piece of the streaming business with its own shows. But a single company bringing everything in-house and soliciting consumers the way Disney is? That’s new.
Disney is trying a different tack to reach those massive amounts of people: offer just a few things, but make sure it’s the kind of “Star Wars”-ian content everybody wants. Disney+ will be, for instance, the home for all theatrical movies released by Disney . It will also eventually be the home for its classic film library .
More casual content can be presented as streaming events, there are so many events some deft prgm skills could create a new billion dollar
