About IMDb Website

IMDb, an acronym for Internet Movie Database. It is an online database of information about films, TV programs, video games, streaming content, home videos, biographies of cast, crew, and production members, fan comments, ratings, trivia, and reviews.

In 1996, IMDb was incorporated in the United Kingdom, and hence became the Internet Movie Database Ltd. Later in 1998, it was owned by Amazon as its subsidiary, a private company. This gave IMDb the ability to pay its shareholders, salaries and Amazon used it as an advertising resource for selling its DVD and videotapes at that time.
