Why it exists

IMDb trend data, without the plumbing

MOVIEmeter ranks titles by what IMDb's hundreds of millions of users are actively looking at, which makes it one of the cleanest real-time reads on audience attention in film. It moves on trailers, casting news, releases and viral moments.

IMDb has no public API for this chart, so getting it means scraping. Trends API serves the MOVIEmeter top 100 as JSON in the same shape as the other live feeds, useful for studios, streaming, entertainment media and anyone tracking what audiences are about to watch.
