Walt Disney Company began 2025 on wheels. After a long difficult period, both at the box office and streaming, the entertainment giant did not fail to present its latest financial results with pride. The second quarter of the 2025 fiscal year was particularly favorable for the company. And if the announcement of the seventh Disneyland resort which will open its doors in the Middle East has not failed to overshadow the other announcements of the company, it is clear that Disney+ is not to be outdone. The streaming platform seems to have found its new cruising rate, since about 1.4 million additional subscribers have joined service around the world in the past three months.
By adding the separate statistics of the Hulu platform (whose content is included on Disney+ in France), which won 1.3 million subscribers in the second quarter of 2025, the Walt Disney Company streaming division was very widely strengthened. Last February, Disney+ attests to a loss of 700,000 subscribers at the end of 2024. The service is therefore narrowly maintained its third place in the podium of the most popular streaming platforms, behind Netflix and Prime Video: a rescue that was still thought to be impossible a few months ago. But the most obvious strategies are sometimes the most effective, and it is by essentially focusing on its strong licenses that Disney was able to get out of turmoil even before we can say “Bibidi, Bobidi, Bou“.
The public enchanted in all markets
Vaiana et Mufasa risk having back pain after carrying all the success of Disney+ on their shoulders. After having reversed the trend in dark rooms with respective box-offs of $ 1.05 billion and $ 672 million, Vaiana 2 and live-action Multure: the roi lion also made a box on the streaming service. The adventurer of Motunui alone has managed to accumulate 139 million views on Disney+ Since its release on the platform on March 12, which makes Vaiana 2 The best launch of an animated film on the platform after Charm.

And if the French catalog of the platform is found for the moment deprived of these outings because of our good old media chronology, the case of France is a perfect example of the attention that Disney+ now relates to each local market. With us, the spectators were able to be tempted by some original productions, such as Daredevil Born Again or Win or Losethe first (and last) year series signed Pixar. But in the absence of behemoths such as Vice-Versa 2, Vaiana 2 or Mufasa, The company was able to bet on a nugget well from our home: Season 2 of Brief, which she managed to obtain exclusivity.
More than ever, Disney+ manages to juggle the various local restrictions, while offering content sufficiently targeted to convince spectators to maintain their subscription or subscribe again. On paper, Mickey Mouse’s streaming service therefore seems more fit than ever, but it is over the duration that it will be necessary to judge the relevance of recent prowess. This positive dynamic may well be just a stroke of luck. But while Marvel productions also begin to find their letters of nobility, the strong figures that will support the platform in the coming months all seem to be found.
