FilmAffinity is a movie recommendations website created in 2002 in Madrid, Spain, by the film critic Pablo Kurt Verdú Schumann and the programmer Daniel Nicolás.[1] In 2016, the site listed 125,000 movies and series and had 556,000 reviews written by its users.[2]
Registered users can rate movies, find recommended films based on their personal ratings, create any kind of movie lists and – in the Spanish version – write reviews. The site also includes information about contents of the main streaming services, such as Netflix, HBO, Movistar+, Filmin and Rakuten TV. This feature is limited to Netflix in the English version.[citation needed]
It has been noted that FilmAffinity users tend to rate films more severely than IMDb users, resulting in consistently lower average scores.[3]
The site has 3 million unique users in Spain, which accounts for 70% of its total traffic, and serves more than 47 million pages per month worldwide. Advertisements are the site's only income, totaling roughly €500,000 annually.[4]
International expansion
In 2016, the site launched adapted versions for the US, Mexico, Argentina and Chile, offering specific information about release dates for movies, local critics, box office and cinemas. A UK version was later added.[5]
The English version is more limited than the Spanish, not offering the chance for users to write reviews.
