Draft:The Movie Database

The Movie Database (TMDb) is a collaborative film database. The project was founded in 2008 by Travis Bell to collect film posters. The initial database was a donation from the free project Open Media Database (omdb). TMDb is a competing project to the commercial Internet Movie Database and can e.g. be used by the media center software Kodi.

In 2010, TMDb was sold to the company Fan TV, although the site is still managed by its founder. As of mid-2020, there were 568,729 films and 1,752,577 people in the database.
