ryanripley 86,575 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Walt Disney Co., once again shaking up the media industry, announced it will stop selling movies to Netflix Inc. and begin offering ESPN sports programming and family films directly to consumers over two new streaming services. The ability to stream some of Disney’s most valuable sporting events and shows without a cable TV subscription underscores how rapidly the business is changing in the wake of online services from Netflix Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. -- and how seriously Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger views the threat. Disney also reported a drop in sales and profit. In 2019 the company will introduce an online service featuring Disney films already scheduled for release, as well as new programs and content from the company’s library of Disney Channel and other content. A current deal to stream newly released movies with Netflix will end. Shares of Disney fell as much as 2.6 percent to $104.25 in extended trading after the announcements. Netflix lost 3.5 percent $172.15. Netflix said in an email its relationship with Marvel television would continue. Disney warned last year that fiscal 2017 would be difficult, hurt by rising costs to televise National Basketball Association games and fewer films being released by its studio.

Morphine Prince 109,645 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Lol what a joke. I doubt many people will sign up JUST for Disney content in a streaming service. Being on Netflix is much better. At this rate every company will start a streaming service and people will end up paying ridiculous amounts of money to watch all their shows just how people paid a lot in the past years to get satellite cable and stuff.
