Disney announced on December 10 local time that it will raise the monthly fee for its video distribution service “Disney +” in the United States from March next year.
To raise the monthly fee
MacRumors, an overseas Apple-related media, will raise the usage fee of “Disney +” in the United States by 1 dollar (about 104 yen) from March 26, next year to 7.99 dollars (about 830 yen) on December 11, local time. I’m reporting.
In a presentation to investors held on December 10, local time, Disney announced that it would raise its monthly fee as costs are expected to increase in the future.
According to MacRumors, 10 new Marvel and Star Wars series will be distributed, and it seems that the monthly fee will be raised as the content is expanded.
Focus on the impact in Japan in the future
Disney + has reached 86.8 million users in just 13 months since its launch, making it a globally popular video distribution service.
In Japan, the service is provided in an exclusive collaboration with NTT DoCoMo, and the monthly fee at the time of writing the article is 700 yen (excluding tax).
Compared to the price increase of 7.99 dollars (about 830 yen) after the price increase in the US, the service in Japan will be cheaper, so it is important to pay attention to whether Disney + in Japan will also increase the price in the future.
In addition, Apple TV +, a video distribution service provided by Apple, is said to be struggling with Disney +, but with this price increase of Disney +, it may be possible to recover in the future depending on Apple’s response.
