How Letterboxd went mainstream

Letterboxd was once a calling card for film nerds and sci-fi bros. Now, it’s broken through to the masses.
In 2020, Letterboxd’s highest-rated film was Lee Isaac Chung’s quiet indie Minari, which made a mere $15.5 million globally. Four years later, Denis Villeneuve’s $714.4 million-making juggernaut Dune: Part Two tops the charts.
