During the recent Disney Investor Day webcast, the company announced LOADS (seriously loads) of new movies and TV shows coming to the service. They also announced that Disney+ had already surpassed 86 million subscribers just a year after its initial launch.

Now, analysts predict that Disney+ will just keep getting bigger and bigger. According to NASDAQ, industry watchers at eMarketer predict that Disney+ will hit $4 billion in revenue by 2022.

These analysts say that Disney+ revenue will reach $1.94 billion by the end of this year, but the January 2021 price increase to $7.99 per month (up $1 per month) will bring in even more for the streaming service.

The eMarketer analysts even believe that Disney+ will soon be a major Netflix contender, by estimating that all of Disney’s streaming services, including Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, will generate $12.36 billion in revenue for the company. Netflix is predicted to bring in $12.95 billion around the same time, so Disney is steadily closing the gap.
