Let’s face it a leaked trailer of any kind is what we all really needed. What traditionally is saved for the likes of Hall H at San Diego Comic Con has now become what Disney’s Investor Day will unveil. Yesterday a potential leaked trailer revealing an upgrade to its streaming service took over the internet. What looks like a promotional trailer set to be unveiled during Disney’s planned investor call on December 10th has got everyone buzzing.

This potential Disney 18+ buzz has also translated to Disney’s stock climbing with the market opening this morning. The company’s stock opened today at $151.49 which is almost identical to where it was at one year ago after the launch of Disney+. On August 26, 2019 its stocked peaked at 151.64 just after Disney+ premiered in the US and just before Rise Of Skywalker premiered in theaters.
Since then the stock had tumbled for various reason most notably when all parks and studios had to shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Hitting it lowest point on March 23, 2020 at $85.76 when the whole world basically went on lockdown. Since then the companies stock had been climbing with the reopening of multiple parks, the release of Mulan on Disney+, the announcement of more original content coming to the streaming service and the premiere of season 2 of The Mandalorian.
In the span of one month though the company’s stock has jumped from $118.47 at the end of October to $151.49. Which leads the market to believe that something big is coming.
Amazon Studios’ former head of strategy, Matthew Ball, commented on what the supposed ‘leak’ video could mean for the streaming service and outlook in general.
1/ Been asked about this "leaked" Disney+ trailer for Disney's Dec. 10 Investor Day. It feels real to me, though I get skepticism.
If true, it would be a HUGE value unlock for Disney. Which is *why* it feels so real to me.
Fixes ARPU, engagement, theatrical + COVID, TAM, Fox https://t.co/iwKzvQxm6R

“Been asked about this “leaked” Disney+ trailer for Disney’s Dec. 10 Investor Day,” he wrote. “It feels real to me, though I get skepticism. If true, it would be a HUGE value unlock for Disney. Which is why it feels so real to me. Fixes ARPU, engagement, theatrical + COVID, TAM, Fox.”
While Ball mentions that the trailer “might be a great fake” or “just for abroad (where no Hulu). But it makes so much sense (more revenue, more subscribers, more engagement, simpler offering) for Disney and viewers.”
This is something fans and investors have been wondering if the company will make the leap to join the big streaming service. We will have to wait for the Disney Investors call in early December, but the market seems to be pushing for a big announcement in the coming weeks.
