Here are a few of the most interesting IMDb statistics and facts I was able to dig up. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
IMDb (Internet Movie Database) is the perfect example of how a good idea can snowball into a powerhouse. It began as a fun group project way back in 1990 and has grown into the go-to spot for movie-lovers and information seekers.
With 27 years of database and audience building, once can imagine that there is much to measure about IMDb. I recently sat down to see what I could learn about IMDb.

Please note that some of these IMDb stats are easier to find than others. A few of these IMDb facts 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%
