ABSTRACT
IMDb is the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content with more than 250 million unique monthly visitors. Most audience members, and many industry professionals, begin using IMDb by performing a title search for a specific film. Assuming that the visitor likes what they see, IMDb provides links at the bottom of each listing to find local showtimes and to rent or purchase the video from IMDb's parent, Amazon.comAmazon.com. To add a film to the IMDb directory, the film must meet what the service terms "general public interest" criteria. The first step in preparing IMDb profile is to register and subscribe to IMDbPro. Unlike film listings and filmmaker profiles, studio and production company listings are of far more interest and use to industry professionals than audience members. The membership-based service includes comprehensive information and tools that are designed to help filmmakers achieve success throughout their careers and each stage of film production.
