Disney lowered the monthly price of its most popular streaming service this week amid a carrier fee dispute with a Charter Communications.
Anyone who subscribes to Disney+ will pay $1.99 a month for three months, according to the service's website. Disney+ normally costs $7.99 a month. The lowered price applies to new and returning subscribers only.
For nearly a year, Disney has been laser-focused on making its streaming platforms profitable, firing CEO Bob Chapek 10 months ago and replacing him with former Chief Executive Bob Iger in hopes of accelerating that growth.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launched six space tourists on a high-speed dash to the edge of space and back Friday, giving the passengers — including a husband and wife making their second flight — about three minutes of weightlessness and an out-of-this world view before the capsule made a parachute descent to touchdown at the company's west Texas flight facility.
