Disney’s 3Q Profit Climbs as It Sees Strength at Domestic Parks, Adds Streaming Subscribers
UNITED STATES AND CANADA, AUG 6 – Disney will stop reporting paid subscribers and average revenue per user for Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ in late 2025 as these metrics are less useful for business evaluation, with combined subscribers at 183 million.
- The Walt Disney Company reported a $346 million profit for its streaming segment in the June 2025 quarter, alongside growth in its domestic theme parks and an announcement of a new theme park in Abu Dhabi.
- This profit reversed a $19 million loss recorded in the same quarter the previous year, a period during which Disney adjusted its streaming approach and announced plans to stop disclosing details about paid subscribers and revenue generated per subscriber for its streaming platforms.
- Disney's combined Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions reached 183 million by June 2025, a gain of 2.6 million from the previous quarter, driven mainly by Hulu's expanded Charter deal and content integration.
- CEO Bob Iger characterized the new streaming bundle as a "remarkable offering" that unites top brands, diverse entertainment, children's content, and leading live sports coverage within a single app, while ESPN secured exclusive U.S. streaming rights to WWE’s major live wrestling events beginning next year.
- Disney anticipates more than 10 million additional combined Disney+ and Hulu subscribers in Q3 2025 but will cease reporting subscriber counts and ARPU metrics by the end of calendar year 2025 as these metrics became less meaningful for evaluating business performance.
