Disney’s streaming service has reached more than 54 million subscribers around the world, the company has said.
Disney+, which launched in the UK in March, showcases the studio's extensive back catalogue as well as new original shows likeThe Mandalorian and other Star Wars and Marvel films.
While the boost in streaming numbers was reason for celebration, the global entertainment giant also unveiled the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Disney has been forced to close its theme parks around the world due to the outbreak and said in its second quarter, profits dropped 91% to 475 million dollars (£382 million).
The streaming figures are up 4.5 million from April 8, when Disney said it had reached 50 million subscribers.
Bob Chapek, who was named CEO of Disney in February, said lockdown for millions around the world had made Disney+ more attractive to consumers.
Disney's significant growth came as the service launched worldwide – in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, France, Switzerland, and India – but the service has also seen a boost with the majority of people on lockdown and working from home.
The coronavirus has had a huge impact on the entertainment industry, with Disney among the studios forced to stop production on its films and TV shows.
It has also pushed back several major releases, including live-action remake Mulan and Marvel’s Black Widow.
