Needham reported this revolution was why his website had enjoyed an increase of 300 percent concerning the trailers and movie content uploaded in languages. He said IMDb had gone contrary to the fourth user base to the 2nd highest in two years, next only to the USA.

“We’re growing in the U.S., but at number 2, India is growing at a faster speed,” Needham said.



He said reaching out to stakeholders in the IMDbPro, concerning the organization’s superior product and IMDb planned to customize more features.

IMDb says it’s a database of over 250 million data items out of TV shows, movies and other content and more than 250 million monthly visitors.
