Disney+ Cuts Price Of Basic Tier To $2 A Month In New Promotion


In a new promotion, Disney is offering the basic, ad-supported tier of Disney+ for $1.99 a month ($6 less than the current price) for three months.

The move comes as Disney remains in a standoff with DirecTV over linear carriage for 16 networks, which went dark on the major pay-TV distributor on September 1. In addition to the promotion, Disney+ is introducing a set of perks for U.S. subscribers, including discounts on merchandise, access to 35 free Marvel Digital Comics and entry into a cruise sweepstakes. Subscribers earlier Thursday were also offered tickets to D23 Tune-in To Terror: A Hollywood Halloween presented by Disney+, a subscriber-only event in L.A.
