App Annie figure portends another hot start for Disney’s big direct-to-consumer service
The Disney Plus app was downloaded 5 million times on its launch day earlier this week in the UK, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, according to research firm App Annie.
For comparison, when Disney Plus launched in North America on Nov. 12, App Annie registered 3.1 million app downloads for the service. Disney Plus registered 28.6 million subscribers from Nov. 12 through Dec. 31.
App downloads don’t translate directly into subscriptions. For example, a single subscription can translate into multiple downloads, with multiple family members outfitting all of their respective devices.
