Disney+ overtakes Netflix in global subscribers to become the largest streaming service on or before 2023-03-07

Criterion requires Disney+ to overtake Netflix in global subscribers to become the largest single streaming service on or before 2023-03-07. It never did: at every reporting point in the window Netflix led Disney+ by roughly 60-90M subscribers. resolved_on = deadline.

Evidence of what happened

  • Disney+ never overtook Netflix in global subscribers within the window. As of Q4 2022 (quarter ending 2022-12-31, the last report before the 2023-03-07 deadline), Netflix had ~230.75M paid subscribers vs Disney+ ~161.8M (down from a ~164.2M peak). Netflix remained the largest single streaming service. Criterion NOT met.

    Evidence

  • By Q2 2023 (after the deadline) the gap persisted: Netflix ~238.4M vs Disney+ ~146.7M. Only Disney's *combined* DTC portfolio (Disney+ + Hulu + ESPN+, ~221M) approached Netflix, but Disney+ as a single service never surpassed Netflix.
