Yeah, I believe that it was only released in a dubbed version. For Spirited Away they had both subtitled and dubbed prints and let theaters choose which they wanted. If I recall correctly only a dozen theaters or so opted for the subtitled prints so that is probably why they just skipped that this time around (making prints is expensive).
So my press screening for Howl's Moving Castle was in San Francisco's Japantown and still shown dubbed. At least Disney and Lasseter put a lot of time and effort into making quality dubs.
