Disney’s strength lies in its vast library that boasts some of the world’s most popular franchises. Within next 175 days it will launch its online streaming Disney+, which is going to have all the Disney shows and content which we love and adore. moreover, the streaming service will also host content from Disney’s subsidiaries, Lucasfilm and Marvel, which means Disney+ will be offering all Marvel and Star Wars titles released so far. Also, the streaming service will offer new original shows and films from the Disney banner.
Netflix charges a monthly subscription fee of $10.99 in the United States. Amazon Prime costs only $10 per month when purchased on an annual basis and offers a range of other services other than just access to Prime Video. Reportedly, the Disney+ subscription fee will be initially lower than Netflix, the cost will be $6.50 per month and I am sure people will switch to D+ as there are favorite content will no longer be available on Netflix.
So, how will Netflix survive as they are already drooling under debt. This year, its content budget is expected to reach $15 billion, Variety reported earlier. The additional $2 billion in debt will bring Netflix's long-term debt to around $12.3 billion, Variety now points out. It also says Netflix hasn't paid down any significant amount of that debt to date.

Amazon went all in and it took years to turn a profit, but they have a long way to go to catch Netflix. Netflix already has a vast amount of content and has established itself as an industry leader. Disney will have its following. It will be interesting to see how much tolerance a consumer will have to pay a subscription for three or more services. Once the number of competitors gets too high, consumers will have to drop some individual subscriptions. Netflix will not be one of the first to go. In fact, they may do well to absorb some of their smaller competitors. Instead of just subscribing to one network at a time, consumers will search for aggregated access at a volume discount. Channel brokers will bundle access to Internet networks like Cable did with TV channels.
