The Walt Disney Company said Wednesday that its new streaming service Disney+ had 10 million sign-ups since it launched Tuesday at midnight. From a report: Disney wouldn’t release the number if the company didn’t think it represented a major milestone. Disney told investors in the spring that it hopes to reach 60 million to 90 million subscribers by 2024. The number is also notable, considering the service launched with a few hiccups. Early reports on Tuesday suggested the technology for Disney+ began crashing on launch day. Analysts anticipated strong consumer interest prior to the launch of the new service. Polling suggests that consumers were interested in the service at launch because of the access to Disney’s movie catalog, as well as its new show, “The Mandalorian.”
