Why Reddit is the TV & Film recommendations engine UK entertainment fans trust

When Dumb Money (based on the real life David and Goliath story sparked by Reddit’s very own r/WallStreetBets community) hit cinema screens earlier this year, movie lovers flocked to one place for the most trusted fan reviews and recommendations - Reddit.

‍

Reddit is where entertainment fandom comes alive and thrives. It’s a place where fans can connect in communities with other fans, united by the same shared passions and interests, across every type of genre of content, from British indies to Hollywood blockbusters.    

‍

Because Reddit’s fan communities are evergreen, the conversation doesn’t stop at the opening weekend of a film release, or the launch of a new streaming box set. Redditors are actively suggesting and requesting, reviewing and recommending entertainment content each and every day. From chatter around early cast announcements in r/movies to fan reactions on the dropping of the first trailer in r/flicks, the conversations that matter to real fans happen on Reddit.

So whether it’s creating a conversation directly with fans through a promoted Reddit AMA or tapping into Reddit’s hugely influential fan created reviews as part of an integrated launch campaign, a recommendation on Reddit is more likely to drive a film fan to watch a movie at the cinema than users from any other platform in the UK.
