Here are a few of the most interesting IMDb statistics and facts I was able to dig up including user counts. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
What is IMDb?
IMDb started in 1990 as a hobby project by an international group of movie and TV fans. IMDb is now the world’s most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content. We offer a searchable database of more than 185 million data items including more than 3.5 million movies, TV and entertainment programs and 7 million cast and crew members. (source)

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these IMDb statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
