Revenues recognized in the current and prior-year quarter from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous reporting periods primarily relate to revenues earned on TV/SVOD and theatrical distribution licensee sales on titles made available to the licensee in previous reporting periods. For the quarter ended December 28, 2019, $468 million was recognized related to performance obligations satisfied as of September 28, 2019. For the quarter ended December 29, 2018, $378 million was recognized related to performance obligations satisfied as of September 29, 2018.
As of December 28, 2019, revenue for unsatisfied performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future is $16 billion, which primarily relates to content to be delivered in the future under existing agreements with television station affiliates and TV/SVOD licensees. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately $5 billion in the remainder of fiscal 2020, $5 billion in fiscal 2021, $3 billion in fiscal 2022 and $3 billion thereafter. These amounts include only fixed consideration or minimum guarantees and do not include amounts related to (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less (such as most advertising contracts) or (ii) licenses of IP that are solely based on the sales of the licensee.
When the timing of the Company’s revenue recognition is different from the timing of customer payments, the Company recognizes either a contract asset (customer payment is subsequent to revenue recognition and subject to the Company satisfying additional performance obligations) or deferred revenue (customer payment precedes the Company satisfying the performance obligations). Consideration due under contracts with payment in arrears is recognized as accounts receivable. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. Contract assets, accounts receivable and deferred revenues from contracts with customers are as follows:

Deferred revenues

Non-current676  619  
Contract assets primarily relate to certain multi-season TV/SVOD licensing contracts. Activity for the current and prior-year quarters related to contract assets and allowance for doubtful accounts was not material.
For the quarter ended December 28, 2019, the Company recognized revenues of $2.1 billion primarily related to theme park admissions, vacation packages and licensing advances included in the deferred revenue balance at September 28, 2019. For the quarter ended December 29, 2018, the Company recognized revenues of $1.6 billion primarily related to theme park admissions and vacation packages included in the deferred revenue balance at September 30, 2018.
