This means that Disney+ Hotstar<\/a> had about 18.5 million subscribers for the quarter, with most of it coming from India. The service forayed into Indonesia in early September and Singapore earlier this month.
McCarthy said Disney+ Hotstar subscriber additions were the largest contributor to the growth of Disney+ that saw an increase of over 16 million global subscribers, but didn't disclose any specific information. The service has likely added nearly 10 million subscribers during the quarter, since it had about 8.63 million subscribers for the quarter ended June 2020.
The Disney-owned streaming service benefited from the start of the delayed IPL season that concluded earlier this week. Several prominent theatrical movies also went directly to the platform during the quarter, as a result of Covid-19-induced lockdown that had shut theatres in the country for several months.
Hotstar ARPU:<\/strong> Disney+'s overall average revenue per user (ARPU) was at $4.52 for the quarter. However, excluding Disney+ Hotstar, it was $5.30, McCarthy said during the call. This indicates that Disney+ Hotstar makes about $2.19 (about Rs 163.5 at the current exchange rates) from each subscriber in India every quarter, a significant jump from an ARPU of $0.71 in the previous quarter.
It's worth noting that the service recently undertook a price hike in India when Disney+ launched through Hotstar in the country. The cost of entry-level plan 'Disney+ Hotstar VIP' was hiked to Rs 399 per year, while for 'Disney+ Hotstar Premium' it was increased to Rs 1,499 per year from Rs 999 per year.
In India, Disney+ Hotstar competes with players like Netflix<\/a>, Amazon Prime Video, Essel Group's Zee5, Times Internet's* MX Player, Viacom18's Voot<\/a>, and Reliance-backed ALT Balaji<\/a> among others.
Top management exits<\/strong>
Star India has faced a series of top-level exits in recent months. Uday Shankar quit as the chairman of Star & Disney<\/a> India and president, The Walt Disney<\/a> Company Asia Pacific last month after a 13-year stint. Four top-level executives of Star Sports including president and CEO Gautam Thakar have also quit, ET reported last month.
Responding to an analyst question on the management change, Disney chief executive Bob Chapek noted that they have a \"deep bench\" in India. \"We feel that we have all kinds of opportunities and a lot of success so far with Disney+ and we have no reason to believe that that success won't continue and even accelerate going forward,\" he said.
Disney had announced an international direct-to-consumer general entertainment offering under the Star brand in the previous quarter. Set to debut in 2021, the service will include its own content from 20th Century Studios, ABC Studios, Fox Television, FX, Freeform, and Searchlight. It's likely that we will know more about this service during the company's investor day presentation next month.
Disney's major restructuring
<\/strong>
Last month, the entertainment conglomerate undertook a major reorganisation of its media and entertainment business to focus on its thriving streaming business, as the ongoing pandemic had crippled all its other divisions including theatrical and theme parks businesses.
\"By separating content creation from distribution, we've been able to streamline our processes and better align the organization, towards these important strategic objectives, as we accelerate our pivot to a DTC (direct-to-consumer)-first business model,\" Chapek said on Friday.
Disney+, which was launched exactly a year ago and is available in more than 20 countries, is also foraying into Latin America including Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina next week, Chapek said on Friday. He also added that they now have more than 120 million paid subscribers across all its streaming services including ESPN+ and Hulu.
Overall, Disney posted total revenues of $14.7 billion for the quarter, a 23% decline from $19.1 billion in the same quarter last year. The company reported a net loss of $710 million for the quarter, as compared to a $777 million profit in the corresponding quarter last year.
