Netflix was already declining in subscribers as revealed in the second quarter of this year.

Data suggests that curious users have been snapping up deals with other services that offer it at a discounted rate for a limited time.

‘While I do not know this for fact, I assume the 10 million subscribers have not all agreed to pay the company money,’ an Apptopia data analyst said. ‘A certain percentage definitely have, but many were either on their free trial or receiving the service for free through Verizon.’

‘With regards to revenue, keep in mind that due to the free trial, there was not much money being generated prior to a week after launch. Many users may choose to pay outside of the app as well.’

Disney+ enters the UK market in March and the service projects to acquire between 60 and 90 million global subscribers by 2024. Netflix has 60 million US subscribers and 97 million on an international basis. 

Between Hulu, ESPN+ and Disney+, the company hopes to rack up 160 million subscribers over the next five years.
