Walt Disney and Hulu are making a movie that seems right out of Netflix’s book -- several beloved shows will be pulled from the streaming platform on May 26. Deadline has reported that a large slew of content will be removed from streaming platforms just a week after the purge was announced. Bottom line: if you love any of these shows or movies, it’s time to schedule a binge-watch before it’s too late.
On May 10, Walt Disney (DIS) CFO Christine McCarthy told shareholders that the company was “in the process of reviewing the content on our DTC services to align with the strategic changes in our approach to content curation.” The company also announced other ways to create more revenue and cut back on spending, including a rate increase for monthly subscriptions and even combining Disney with the company’s newly-acquired Hulu network.
