No one can know the real numbers of cancellations unless Disney announces them, which will never happen.

Quarterly earnings...

183 million Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions, an increase of 2.6 million versus Q2 fiscal 2025

128 million Disney+ subscribers, an increase of 1.8 million versus Q2 fiscal 2025

But internally they monitor this metric on a day-to-day metric, people are absolutely losing their shit over the cancellation at Disney.

Oh shit, and the current fiscal quarter ends in like a week, so we should hear about the numbers near the first week of November.

Probably not. Disney has previously announced that they're gonna stop reporting subscriber numbers in 10Ks and annual reports.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

It looks like they did announce that a month or two ago, but they also said that the new policy wouldn't apply to Disney+ & hulu until 2026. Espn+ numbers though won't be reported for Q4 this year.

Then again, it looks like the cancellations aren't immediate; they are still subscribers until the end of the billing period/month, so it may not affect the total subscriber count too much.
