LOTR

Game of Thrones
The question is will Warner pull their content from competing services once HBO Max is up and running? We already know Disney's pulling content from Netflix.
To be honest, I don't see how AppleTV+ is gonna compete unless they license content or acquire a studio.

1- Yes, Warner will pull stuff out of Hulu and Netflix. Not from CW or CWSEED.
(They pulled CW content from Hulu a couple years back in favor of CW app.)
2- DC UNIVERSE will continue but how they will handle new video content is unclear. DOOM PATROL is going to run there. Old Titans and SWAMP THING, too.
3- All new CW shows (Batwoman, Nancy Drew, Katy Keene, Superman and family, etc will go to HBO MAX instead of Netflix at the end of the season but existing shows will stay until tbe contracts run out.
4- HBOMAX will have in excess of 10,000 hours of movies and show at launch. More later.

50 new Originals on top of existing and planned new HBO originals.
HBO NOW will convert to HBOMAX.
HBO subscribers via ATT get converted. Others TBD. Smart folk will drop HBO via cable and subscribe to HBOMAX, obviously. Same cost, massively more content.
Tempting Original content:
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON
HIS DARK MATERIALS
DUNE: BENE GESSERIT
GREEN LANTERN CORPS
STRANGE ADVENTURES
DOOM PATROL season 2+
RAISED BY WOLVES
CIRCE
DR WHO ARCHIVE AND NEW SEASONS
SESAME STREET
LOONEY TUNES (ALL OLD + NEW)
ANIMANIACS (OLD AND NEW)
All TCW contents and tons of anime from Crunchyroll and studio Ghibli
Disney+ will draw from 5 brands; DISNEY, PIXAR, MARVEL, STAR WARS, NATIONAL GEO
Mature content will go to Hulu so a full experience might require both.
Plus $6.99 is startup cost. They made it clear it won't be forever.
Hbomax will draw from from over nine, for all ages; everything WB, DC, and Turner, Crunchyroll and Rooster's Teeth, etc.
Most originals will drop weekly, not all at once.
(They want to minimize churning.)
Depending on tastes, $15 may be justifiable. Don't underestimate them because of the price.
(Again, plain cable HBO has 135m subscribers at that price.)
It is going to get complicated.
