Disney lost about 700,000 Disney+ subscribers in the final three months of 2024, which is the first fiscal quarter of 2025. The company is also forecasting a "modest decline" in subscribers for the entire calendar year of 2025. Additionally, Disney reportedly experienced a sharp loss of over 1.7 million total paid streaming subscribers across its platforms (Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN) during a single week in September 2025, attributed to controversy surrounding the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show. Overall, subscriber losses are being influenced by factors such as price hikes, promotional expirations, and controversies.
