Netflix and the traditional studios are almost opposites in how they make money from content. Netflix has profitable streaming that subsidizes content creation. Disney/HBO have profitable content creation (with risk mitigated by other business divisions) and that subsidizes streaming.
So with production/sports halted by COVID for everyone, and streaming rising, Disney is getting hit by a perfect storm, while Netflix managed to catch some breathing room.
