Here's your quick, fun, sometimes serious, and always interesting daily tech digest, by way of the DGiT Daily newsletter, for Friday, April 12, 2019!
1. Disney+ announced at an aggressively cheap $6.99 a month
Remember when Apple held a huge event for its various services, including TV and movies, and ended up giving us no detail? No price, no date, no real understanding of its offering?
Well, in a single tweet yesterday (and then lots more tweets), Disney revealed more about its hotly anticipated Disney+ streaming service than we saw at all from Apple in its big stage reveal.
And it's all coming at the unexpectedly low price of $7 a month or $70 per year, a dramatically low-price.
The big need-to-knows:
- Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic will be available on connected TV and mobile devices.
- ESPN+ and Hulu will "likely" be offered as part of a discounted bundle.
- The service will offer 4K HDR streaming.
- It's coming to the U.S. on November 12th, with a global rollout as follows: "Disney+ will rapidly expand globally, with plans to be in nearly all major regions of the world within the next two years."
- A Disney executive told Variety more specifically that Western Europe and in Asia-Pacific regions will start in Q4 2019, and into early 2020, with Eastern Europe and Latin America starting at the end of 2020.
- Disney+ will be ad-free, supported solely by subscription fees, and available on as many platforms as possible: from disneyplus.com to smart TVs, connected streaming devices including Roku and PS4, and include offline viewing.
Shows and more:
- Disney+ will include 7,500 episodes of current and off-air TV shows; 25 original series and 10 original movies and specials; 400 library movie titles; and 100 recent theatrical films release, according to Agnes Chu, senior VP of content.
- All 30 seasons of "The Simpsons" will be available on day one, as Homer and family explained (Twitter).
- Marvel will offer "Loki" starring Tom Hiddleston, "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier" live-action series, "WandaVision" with Elizabeth Olsen, and "Marvel's What If…?", exploring the MCU.
- There's a whole lot of "Star Wars": "The Mandalorian", the first scripted live-action Star Wars series, a new series of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars".
- Pixar will offer "Toy Story"-based projects, "Forky Asks a Question", an animated short series, and the short film "Lamp Life".
- And much more…
The big picture – and the costs:
- $7 a month (or less for a yearly price) is just so value-packed, considering the catalog Disney is offering.
- It's super-aggressive, and Disney admits it won't be nearly enough to pay the bills.
- The interesting thing about the streaming space, where Netflix and Amazon Prime Video and Hulu and the rest play, is that no one is making money.
- Instead, the companies are spending like crazy to hook subscribers, with a future payday in mind.
- It's the same as Lyft and Uber: both losing between hundreds of millions to billions, as they attempt to make a land grab.
- Disney said that it will spend $1 billion in cash on original programming for Disney+ in 2020, with "just under" $1 billion for operating expenses.
- Original content costs will rise to around $2.5 billion by 2024.
- Meanwhile, Netflix is poised to spend $15 billion in 2019 and said it would lose between $3-4 billion in cash in 2019. Amazon said it is spending $5 billion in 2019.
- The only way to claw that back is with more subscribers. But with more competition, more
