　　Now Playing: Best Shows And Movies To Stream For April 2020 - Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video

　　Disney also called out India as a particularly huge region for the service, tallying 8 million subscribers alone. The company did not share any other region's specific subscriber numbers.

　　Disney+ is now well ahead of its sister streaming service Hulu, which had 30.4 million subscribers by Disney's latest count. The new results for Disney+ are well ahead of Disney's (likely very modest) expectations, too, as Disney was expecting between 60-90 million subscribers by 2024.

　　The surge in subscriptions for Disney+ may be related to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, as more and more people stay home and are looking for TV shows and movies to watch. Also notable is that Disney brought Frozen II and Onward to Disney+ ahead of schedule, which also probably helped subscriptions jump.

　　Disney+ still has a lot of work to do to catch Netflix (167 million subscribers) and Amazon Prime Video (150 million subscribers), but it's definitely off to a very strong start.

　　There are more than 500 movies and 350 TV shows on Disney+, including all 30 seasons of The Simpsons.
