Not in the US though. https://www.gq.com/story/netflix-studio-ghibli-oops `While American Netflix has some solid foreign entries in its catalogue, Studio Ghibli's movies won't be among them. HBO, it turns out, has already acquired the American streaming rights for Studio Ghibli. And even if you already subscribe to HBO Go or HBO Now, you still won't be able to see them: those movies will only be available on the premium HBO Max, a third, more luxe streaming service from HBO slated to debut this coming May.` <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:933267879] in HBO owns t...

InfinityMonster 01/21/20 10:58:21 AM #8:	It's not really a tier system. HBO Now and HBO Go are the same thing. Just different ways to access HBO, the channel. HBO Max is AT&T's Time Warner streaming service which has everything AT&T owns. They're just branding it as HBO, since Time Warner owns them and it's already popular in the streaming game. --- "It lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge" <cite>InfinityMonster posted [p:933269730] in HBO owns t...
