Not many people are going to subscribe to a service to watch the same movies over and over again. DIS+ is dead int he water unless it somehow creates exclusive novel new content, which it wont just for its service, ergo DOA

you clearly do not have kids..

My 5 year old boy will watch the same film again and again for days until he get bored and move to watching the next same movie for days, rinse and repeat.

my brother is 29 now but did the same thing when he was at that age, i still know most lines from lion king by hearth because of that.

i have a friend that watch braveheart at least once a year.

i myself, there are many movies that i would rewatch every once in a while, many from disney.

so it is not even a new or uncommon behavior that people watch the same movies again and again.

also, disney already announced several series just for this service from marvel (wanda and vision, winter soldier and falcon, loki) and star wars (mandalorian, a new clone war season), so yes they will have exclusive novel new content made just for it in there.

also, once it goes live all new movies from disney, marvel and star wars will only be available there.

so it is definitely not dead in the water.

all the new Marvel and Star Wars shows alone...
