They've got about 90 million subscribers, I don't think they're struggling.
With Covid19 killing cinemas (at least temporarily), I can see why they're spending on Disney plus.
Doesn’t necessarily mean they’re performing to target, or that they aren’t worried about the impact of *their complete lack of content* on resubscriptions over the next twelve to twenty four months. It’s very odd to splurge *this much* information out to the general public for

Do they though? They've generally announced phases of content in advance like this in the past - here are the next X movies coming etc.

You generally get one phase announcement with a rough outline, and then a few surprises peppered in as schedules have to change or whatever happens over the course of a few years. They already announced the roadmap of Phase Four, and have now come back to announce almost the same amount of new stuff again for the same phase. That is very unusual for them.
The Phase 4 announcement was the first time that we've had them talking about TV shows in addition to movies so we've not really got anything to compare it to as this is really only our second data dump from them which includes the Disney+ side of things.
