No one can know the real numbers of cancellations unless Disney announces them, which will never happen.

Quarterly earnings...

183 million Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions, an increase of 2.6 million versus Q2 fiscal 2025

128 million Disney+ subscribers, an increase of 1.8 million versus Q2 fiscal 2025

But internally they monitor this metric on a day-to-day metric, people are absolutely losing their shit over the cancellation at Disney.

    Oh shit, and the current fiscal quarter ends in like a week, so we should hear about the numbers near the first week of November.

    Probably not. Disney has previously announced that they're gonna stop reporting subscriber numbers in 10Ks and annual reports.

    It looks like they did announce that a month or two ago, but they also said that the new policy wouldn't apply to Disney+ & hulu until 2026. Espn+ numbers though won't be reported for Q4 this year.

    Then again, it looks like the cancellations aren't immediate; they are still subscribers until the end of the billing period/month, so it may not affect the total subscriber count too much.
