WhileDisney leans hard on nostalgia for content from its vast archivesto push its upcoming Disney package, one downside is that licensing deals signed years ago will mean some movies aren’t always available. In the past, it’s made limited availability of content part of the business model, rotating classics in and out of the Disney vault to encourage purchases while they’re available. As CEO Bob Igerexplained during an interview at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit 2019, that shouldn’t be an issue – as long as people keep subscribing.
