I thought all countries(except US and Japan) already have Studio Ghibli movies in Netflix. So you are saying not all countries have Studio Ghibli movies in Netflix?

It's literally one film being delayed. Not that big of a deal.

they stress so much over these movies and availability but I already own all Ghibli movies except Yamadas and Earthsea, which suck.

I own virtually all the Ghibli movies but I'm glad they are going to get more exposure. Reallly should start my Ghibli rewatch one of these days...

Nice to see that Netflix is adding Ghibli's movies to more territories. Now here in latin-america they gave Kiki, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle (the only one in which an actor from the original dub reprised his role) and Ponyo brand new dubs produced by Wild Bunch, but not all Ghibli films are available in neutral spanish, some others are only available in european spanish and Castle in the Sky's european spanish dub isn't the one that renames the floating castle to Lapuntu, which makes the movie an involuntary comedy when you hear them say Laputa outloud everytime.

I can deal with Ghibli on HBO Max because you can easily find these movies on video pretty cheaply. I’m just confused why Ghibli went with Netflix everywhere expect the US, especially with HBO Max having kind of lukewarm roll out and how invested Netflix is in anime in the US.

HBO Max probably outbid Netflix in the US, whereas streaming services in other countries don't have deep enough pockets to do that.

Netflix was able to license the Ghibli films from Wild Bunch International, which holds the international sales rights to Ghibli films outside of Japan and North America.
GKIDS holds the North American distribution rights, and decided to license the Ghibli films to HBO Max once Ghibli decided to allow digital distribution and subscription streaming of its films. I guess either Netflix lost the bidding war with HBO Max, or Netflix did not have the opportunity to negotiate for the USA subscription streaming rights.
However, GKIDS also licenses some of their films to Netflix (Mirai, Mary and the Witch's Flower, etc.) in North America, and HBO Max is not available in Canada, so it's natural that GKIDS would then license the Ghibli films to Netflix for the Canada streaming market.
Toho and Walt Disney Japan holds Japan distribution rights (the former theatrical, the latter home video), but it's unclear who has the digital/streaming rights in Japan. Ghibli's other partner Nippon TV (which broadcasts Ghibli films in Japan) does own Hulu Japan.
