Disney owns ESPN, a controlling stake in Hulu, Marvel, Lucas Films, Pixar, Disney Animation, and 20th century fox (FX, fox searchlight, many classic movie franchises, X-Men, Fantastic 4, etc). I'm probably missing something. I imagine that Disney will eventually sell a mega subscription service that bundles all of their media.
HBO Max will have all HBO content (obviously), all Warner Bros content, the CW (you know all of those teen dramas people love to watch on netflix like Riverdale, Supernatural, the Flash), Cartoon Network and a bunch of other subsidiaries that I can't name off the top of my head.
Amazon people will have prime subscriptions which gives them access for free.
I don't know why anyone would keep a lifetime subscription for any of the rest. Maybe only subscribe when your favorite shows are on?
Anyway, I think the future of streaming will be interesting to watch. I've made a fairly large bet on Disney stock and I would have bought Warner bros stock if it wasn't owned by ATT (I like Warner bros, I don't like the rest of their business).

- skinnymuch 7y agoDisney controls 100% of Hulu now and can own the entire stake by 2024 when their deal with Comcast comes up for decision. Disney is already doing a bundle for ESPN+, Hulu, Disney+. The Hulu is the lower priced ad one, but still, they’re already mostly there with an ultimate streaming bundle.
