MAX has a wide collection of Studio Ghibli movies in its library that is accessible worldwide. However, the streaming platform is not yet available in every country. As a result, Apple TV and Netflix have secured the streaming rights for those movies in countries where MAX is not yet available.
The same can be expected to happen with The Boy and The Heron movies unless it is announced otherwise.
