In August last year, Disney was preparing to overwhelm D23 attendees with marketing materials and promotional discounts for soon-to-launch streamer Disney+.

Now, the service is one of the few bright spots for a company that has watched its legacy businesses crumble amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Nine-month-old Disney+ added 24 million subscribers during the spring quarter, bringing its total base to 57.5 million paid subs, Disney disclosed Tuesday.

That number has already ballooned to 60.5 million in early August, CEO Bob Chapek announced Tuesday. Streaming video has been a lifeline for parents of young children who don’t have school or summer camp for education and entertainment during long work days.

Chile Cinema Pins Hopes on New President’s Funding Promises

Anna Marie de la Fuente It’s a new dawn for Chile’s audiovisual industry. When Gabriel Boric, Chile’s youngest (at 35) and most left-leaning president since Salvador Allende, was elected in December, his pledge to more than double the state’s contribution to the arts was greeted with great fanfare. After all, Chile’s prodigious film output this past decade has been remarkable despite the scant public support it has received. “If everything we have achieved in the last 10 years was done with so little money, imagine what we can achieve with an increase in audiovisual funding!” says Constanza Arena, executive director of Chile’s film promotion org, CinemaChile.In recent years, Chile has triumphed at the Oscars, starting when Pablo Larraín’s “No” was nominated for international feature in 2012, and culminating in an Oscar win for Sebastian Lelio’s “A Fantastic Woman” in 2017.
