Disney+ launches in UK, France, Spain, West Europe March 31st
- Thread starter AnotherDayAnotherDollar
- Start date
mom hoping it doesn't mean 'we have no movies in the UK because we were stupid and signed a multi year deal with Sky'
Probably referring to existing deals with networks and streaming services in those territories that have to end before they can be available on Disney+
FOr Example Netherlands has more MCU movies than North America, due to Netflix not having those rights there.
Is that true?
What do we have that you? don't?
I'd think they are pretty universal deals...
I think winter soldier and a few others? I know North America will launch with 8, but Netherlands has more than that.
Since they did an american deal, and plussed it with the rest of the world that didn't have exclusive deals...
You will ;) but it is not a subscription service right now, a bit more content and it is...
And I say that as a two month subscriber ;)
CBA that we have to wait, but i guess by then a good portion of disney stuff will be availible, and any technical issues will be ironed out. Looking forward to it
User Banned (3 Days): Encouraging piracy
Nope. I can't stand practices like this. But I was thrilled befor this. But this didn't help. That I can tell you. There are other ways to get the content. It's just that easy. In the meantime Netflix is enough for me.
We don't know how hard Disney is going after VPNs yet or how hard they'll make international subscribing, so there's a chance you have pretend you're an American for a few months. Disney may be really lax at first in their Herculean effort to have the strongest numbers possible for the launch quarter.
Sure, defintely, but if Disney brings good content, enough content, for a price that's worth it, you'll bite ;) is my bet..
You guys know VPNs are a thing right?

Both Netflix and Viasat are currently showing Disney movies. I fear we might have to wait a bit.
Or might just get less movies to start out with, since the deals seem to mostly revolve around Star Wars and Marvel movies.
I wonder if countries outside the US would get movies like Song of the South that Disney will (probably) never re-release in the US.
Get ready for the UK to be missing loads of stuff as they've already sold it exclusively to Sky/NowTV.
Ireland anyone? Can Disney not just put up a clear list.
Good luck thinking people are going to wait 4 months to watch the Mandalorian.
Good luck thinking people are going to wait 4 months to watch the Mandalorian.
I very much doubt that.
Why would disney even risk the PR disaster for a 70 year old or whatever film that has like 0 relevance or fans in the modern day.
gee i wouldn't dream of accessing content through means immoral or illegal
Nah the current Sky deal is finished by then it is more to do with France current laws stating movies cannot appear on streaming services for at least 3 years after launching.
One question I have is, why one of their prominent rides (Splash Mountain) on Disneyland is still linked to that movie?
Couldn't they have rebranded it by now? Like put Kronk and Yzma there and call it something else; why they keep the Song of the South related stuff there?
