AllMovie[2] (previouslyAll Movie Guide) is anonline database with information about films, television programs, television series, and screen actors.[3] As of 2015[update], AllMovie.com and the AllMovie consumer brand are owned byRhythmOne.[1]
AllMovie was founded by popular-culture archivistMichael Erlewine, who also foundedAllMusic andAllGame.
The AllMovie database was licensed to tens of thousands of distributors and retailers for point-of-sale systems, websites and kiosks. The AllMovie database is comprehensive, including basic product information, cast and production credits, plot synopsis, professional reviews, biographies, relational links and more.[citation needed]
AllMovie data is accessed on the web at the AllMovie website. It was also available via theAMG LASSO media recognition service, which can automatically recognize DVDs.
In late 2007,TiVo Corporation acquired AMG for a reported $72 million.[4]
The AMG consumer facing web propertiesAllMusic, AllMovie and AllGame were sold byRovi in August 2013 toAll Media Network, LLC. The buyers also include the original founders ofSideReel and Ackrell Capital investor Mike Ackrell.[5]
RhythmOne offices are located inSan Francisco, California, andAnn Arbor, Michigan, United States.
In the spring of 2024, AllMovie announced that they have moved to a different data provider. The site added a "collections" feature for organizing films (e.g.Star Wars films in the "Skywalker Saga") and information on where films can bestreamed, but removed elements including professional reviews and DVD information.[6]
