Disney CEO Bob Iger Shares New Details On Disney’s Streaming Service!

September 7, 2017Skyler Shuler

It was announced a little over a month ago that Disney would pull all their film properties from Netflix and start own streaming service. We didn’t get much details then except that the streaming service with launch sometime in 2019.

However this morning at Bank of America Merrill Lynch 2017 Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference, Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger gave us quite the update.

Iger confirmed a frequently asked question among fans “Will Star Wars and Marvel movies make the jump to the Disney Streaming Service?” And our answer is yes! I get did say  before today that question was still up in the air.

Iger went on to describe what users can expect from the app, which will include both brand-new exclusive content and a library of favorites. According to Iger, the company will produce four to five studio-quality films to be released exclusively on the streaming platform. This, he says, will complement the studio’s tentpole strategy for theatrical releases by moving low-budget (but still quality) films to the new app. Additionally, new streaming-exclusive television series will be produced for the app.

In terms of a library, Iger did not share exactly how far back the service would reach. However, he did mention that the app would include a collection of shorts from the company and over 7,000 episodes of Disney television.

It was also announced that the new app will not include ads. A name for the app has not be given as of yet.

In 2013, Skyler Shuler wanted to share his knowledge of Disney films and the magic behind the scenes. So, he created the Instagram account Disney Film Facts and the page quickly garnered a following. Soon after a Twitter was created, and not long after that DisneyFilmFacts.com was born. The page has been lucky enough to garner a wonderful following of such amazing Disney and movie fans, as well as been sourced in some of the biggest entertainment sites in the world. In 2018, the page was rebranded to The DisInsider, and the rest was history!
