The new coronavirus, which has forced millions of Europeans to shelter at home, could be a boon to Disney+, the Hollywood conglomerate's online streaming service, which rolls out across much of western Europe on Tuesday.

Disney+, launches in the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain and Switzerland on Tuesday. Disney delayed the launch in France, which was also set for March 24, until April 7 at the request of the French government. Rollouts in other European territories, including Portugal, Belgium and the Nordic regions, are planned for later this year. Currently, the Netherlands is the only European country were Disney+ operates.

Sidebottom said Disney+'s delay in France is also unlikely to have a major impact on the service's overall subscriber uptake. "We could well see pent-up demand build further" in France because of the delay, he noted.

I’m reading reports about streaming & regular broadcast viewership ratings being up. Can you guys report on the daytime ratings? Curious if our Fantastic Four 🇺🇸 soaps are seeing an increase in ratings and viewers. Thanks.

Only a few select countries. Definitely not MUCH.

The Mando episodes dropping weekly by the way, terrible move.
