"Driving the news: Disney saw twice as many U.S. streaming cancellations in the month of September amid the Jimmy Kimmel saga than it did, on average, for the trailing three months, according to data from entertainment analysis company Antenna. Roughly 3 million people canceled their Disney+ subscriptions last month compared with the roughly 1.2 million trailing three month average. Roughly 4.1 million people canceled their Hulu subscriptions last month, compared with around 1.9 million on average for the three months prior."
"Yes, but: Both services saw strong subscription additions in September, offsetting any boycott-related cancellations. Disney+ gained a net total of 2.18 million new subscribers compared with 1.81 million, on average, for the three months prior. Hulu saw 2.11 million additions, compared with the 1.87 million trailing three month average. Catch up quick: MAGA has expanded its target list at a rapid clip in recent months."
Disney+ experienced roughly 3 million cancellations in September, about double its trailing three-month average of 1.2 million. Hulu saw about 4.1 million cancellations in September, versus a prior three-month average near 1.9 million. Despite elevated cancellations, Disney+ posted a net gain of 2.18 million subscribers in September compared with a three-month average of 1.81 million. Hulu recorded 2.11 million additions versus a 1.87 million trailing three-month average. The spike in cancellations occurred amid conservative backlash that initially targeted Disney after Jimmy Kimmel remarks and has since broadened to include Netflix, Wikipedia and the NFL.
