- Disney is reportedly thinking about merging Disney+ and Hulu into a single streaming service.
- Disney is said to be firing Hulu executives in anticipation of making this move in the near future.
- Disney+ has 73.7 million subscribers and Hulu has 36.6 million subscribers, but combining the two would create a service that is one step closer to competing more readily with Netflix.
In one fell swoop, WarnerMedia changed the face of the entertainment industry earlier this week by announcing that its entire 2021 slate of movies will launch simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. The ripple effect of this move is hard to quantify, but, needless to say, the film distribution model will never be the same. In fact, the gravity of this announcement makes it much easier to believe another report that could reshape the streaming wars.
According to Collider, Disney is considering folding Disney+ and Hulu into a single streaming service. The site hears from sources that multiple Hulu executives have already been relieved of their duties ahead of the move.
