Between them, Willow, bigshot and The Mysterious Benedict Society.
This movement by Disney + does not come unexpectedly. On a recent earnings call earlier this month, company CEO Bob Iger and CFO Christine McCarthy were already announcing what was to come. Said content leaves the platform for economic reasonsand it is that according to what they say, the service would have lost 4 million subscribers during the first three months of this 2023.

This figure would be between 1,500 and 1,800 million dollars, all as a result of the eliminations of the series and films. Despite being a fairly large amount, it is a fraction of what was invested in 2022 for their incorporation, numbers that rise to 30,000 million dollars.
