"Hamilton" Drives a Huge Surge in Demand for Disney+

Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash Broadway musical Hamilton, a hip-hop retelling of the Founding Father's life, has notched yet another victory. Between Friday, July 3, and Sunday, July 5, the Disney+ app was downloaded 513,323 times globally and 266,084 in the U.S., according to data analytics company Apptopia. Apptopia pointed out that the global numbers don't include India or Japan, as Disney+ was rolled into an existing app in those countries.
