- Disney reported $18.5 billion in revenue, up 26% year over year (YOY).

Disney's media and entertainment segment reported $13.1 billion in revenue, up 9% YOY.

- During the earnings call, management warned that the slowdown in subscribers for Disney+ may continue until the second half of 2022. The warning was due to the light list of original shows being released within the next few months due to production delays caused by lockdown restrictions.
