Disney's net income from continuing operations rose 1% to $162 million. Excluding some items, Disney earned 30 cents per share, missing Wall Street's target of 55 cents per share.

Macquarie Research analyst Tim Nollen estimated the ad tier could bring an additional $800 million in ad sales next year.
