Walt Disney Company is to launch its online streaming service Disney+ in Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea in November. The announcement comes as the entertainment juggernaut grapples with how to release films with the Delta coronavirus variant driving viewers from cinemas across the globe.
A Walt Disney Company spokeswoman had no additional information on the November launch; details on pricing and content for the local market will be announced later.
Currently, subscribing to Netflix in Hong Kong costs between HK$63 and HK$93 (US$8.10 t0 US$11.95) a month, whereas Apple TV+ costs HK$38 a month.
Disney+ launched in the United States in 2019, and subscriptions in the recently ended quarter more than doubled from the same period a year earlier to 116 million in 61 countries in North and South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
