Spiderman arrives at Disney Plus and thereby intends to gradually dethrone Netflix.
Netflix has managed to capture an audience of more than 222 million subscribers, almost twice as many as Disney Plus.
The movie ‘Spider-Man No Way Home’ grossed more than 1.9 billion dollars at the box office, entering the top 10 highest-earning movies of all time.
The Spiderman movies have finally reached Disney Plus in Latin America and this strategy could directly affect Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and the other available platforms.
Netflix still remains the main platform in the world, however, analysts point out that there may be no going back, and that its reign will soon be in the hands of Disney Plus.
Disney Plus and the services of streaming
Disney Plus has become one of the services of streaming most popular since its launch and since the suppression of its channels on pay television.
According to the latest reports presented, the company has managed to exceed the number of 130 million users subscribed to its platform. And although they are impressive data, it is still quite far from Netflix, which until the last report presented in the previous quarter, had just over 222 million subscribers.
Nevertheless, Netflix has had more than 10 years to consolidate itself as the undisputed leader of the business, while Disney Plus Less than three years was enough for him. Also, other more recent services such as hbo max they have achieved the same reaching 77 million subscribers.
Finally, taking as reference Mexicoaccording to the portal The CIU, It is estimated that there were in the country a total of 12 million subscriptionsof which 63 out of 100 represented the market occupied by Netflixwhile 13 belonged to Disney+ and 9 more from HBO Max.
Spiderman movies arrive on Disney Plus and threaten Netflix
As announced a few months ago, the wall-crawling films arrived today on the Disney Plus platform in Latin America. And this fact could not have the fans of Spiderman happier, because pIt seems that it will only be a matter of time before Marvel can gather its content on the platform associated with StarPlus.
This strategy of course threatens not only Netflix, but the other platforms of streamingbecause since its launch in November 2019, it has only gained ground.
In fact, Specialized analysts point out that, by 2025, Disney Plus could become the leader in this sector. For now, Netflix continues to hold the lead, albeit with ups and downs.
Recently, with the arrival of new seasons of series such as ‘The Umbrella Academy’ and of course ‘Stranger Things’, the platform has remained relevant in digital conversations. Although this may not be enough, as consumer trends have forced these platforms to seek new ways to keep their products current for longer.
For example, even before the arrival of Disney Plus, Netflix stood out for releasing the complete seasons of its series, making it possible for the user to access them whenever they wanted. However, series of Amazon Prime Video What They Boysand of course ‘The Mandalorian’ on Disney Plus they began to revive the format of a weekly episode.
This proposal made the series relevant for longer, a fact that Netflix could not help but resent. Since then, ‘the big N’ has devised a way to compete by dividing its seasons into two parts.
However, the expansion of franchises such as Avatar, Marvel and Star Wars in movies and series gradually threatens Netflix and the business of streaming, because while it monopolizes the conversation on platforms for weeks, it also does so by premiering films that, progressively, are incorporated into its catalog. This double strategy makes it difficult for Netflix not to find such a balanced way to compete not only in streaming, but in theaters.
In addition to this, the Spiderman movies have invariably remained, during their time on other platforms, at the top of the most visited content, which is why their incorporation into Disney is expected to be a success.
Finally, we will have to wait for movies like ‘Spiderman: Into The Spider-verse’, ‘Spiderman 3’, ‘Spiderman Far From Home’ and of course ‘Spiderman No Way Home’ to hit the platform to confirm whether the impact of this content will truly beat other streaming services streaming.
