Costs associated with building its Disney Plus streaming service occupied much of the gap. But investors and Disney’s Hollywood competitors were interested in only one number: Disney Plus subscribers. There were 28.6 million as of Monday, the company said, an astounding number for a service that is less than three months old. Within a day of its introduction, Disney Plus had 10 million subscribers, including an unspecified number of accounts for customers who signed up free under a promotion with Verizon, blowing past analysts’ estimates. Disney Plus costs $7 a month for those paying the sticker price.
