Watch The Beatles hit America in new doc Beatles '64 – with a Disney+ Black Fab Friday streaming deal at $2.99 per month
The Martin Scorsese-produced Beatles documentary is out on Disney+ and you can save $8 per month.
The new Beatles documentary, Beatles '64, is out today (November 29), exclusively on Disney+.
Beatles '64 captures two weeks in 1964 when The Beatles touched down in New York, and appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in front of 73 million viewers – the most-watched television event of its time – setting off mass hysteria. Beatles ‘64 captures the atmosphere of the time with rare and restored footage filmed by Albert and David Maysles that takes us behind the scenes and a front-row seat at live performances.
And those clever cats at the House of Mouse have announced a new Black Friday streaming deal: new subscribers – as well as those who cancelled their subscription over a month ago – can get access to the Disney+/Hulu Bundle, which includes Disney+ (with ads) and Hulu (with ads), for just $2.99/month for a full year – a massive saving from the standard price of $10.99 per month.
This bundle gives you access to the entire Hulu and Disney+ streaming services for a cut-price rate for an entire year. As well as Beatles '64 – which you can't see anywhere else – you can watch Get Back, Peter Jackson's incredible doc on the making of Let It Be, or catch up on hit shows like The Bear, movies like Deadpool & Wolverine and lots more.
Produced by Martin Scorsese and directed by David Tedeschi – who also worked with Scorsese on Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story, Beatles '64 already has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on critic reviews.
The film is available to watch exclusively via Disney+, a channel that's quickly becoming the home of Beatles content, and this Black Friday deal makes it difficult to resist. (And I say that as someone who signed up on a similar deal back in 2021 to watch Get Back. I spent Christmas 2021 with The Beatles. I never felt so good about getting an another subscription fee.)
Disney+ has more music content, including Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, the Abbey Road doc If These Walls Could Sing, dosc on the Beach Boys, Taylor Swift and loads more.
This Disney+ Black Friday streaming deal will cost you $35.88 for the year, saving you $96 compared with the original price ($131.88).
