HBO Max scores all 21 Studio Ghibli films

HBO's streaming services have long succeeded on the strength of original programming, but in a post-AT&T acquisition world, the company is having to create a streaming service supergroup of exceptional content to lure consumers into coughing up more cash. HBO has been on a shopping spree for its HBO Max service. It bought the rights to "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory," and now it's using its outsized checkbook to bring beloved Japanese animation group Studio Ghibli's films onto the web exclusively on its platform for U.S. subscribers.
