Disney+ has made inroads into becoming part of consumers' streaming habits, but the platform has a ways to go to catch its more established rivals.

That's the smallest share among the five platforms Nielsen measures individually, but it's also not that far behind Amazon's Prime Video service at 8 percent.

All other streaming platforms — including Apple TV+, CBS All Access and niche services — together made up 23 percent of time spent. WarnerMedia's HBO Max launched May 27, four days before the end of the second quarter.

Disney reported 57.5 million paid subscribers worldwide for Disney+ in the second quarter . Nielsen's measurements are only for the United States. The second quarter saw Disney+ add blockbuster moviesto its catalog but was light on original programming from April to June.
