In 2011, Karl von Randow and Matt Buchanan, two tech-loving New Zealand film buffs, launched Letterboxd, a movie review and rating app inspired by Goodreads, the platform that does the same for books.

In March 2020, they hired their first full-time employee, and with the world confined to their homes, their user base exploded.

I fell in love with the TV show 60 Minutes as a child. I loved non-fiction storytelling. Because of where I lived, I got a chance to be on TV when I was in high school. I appeared as a student on Gene Autry's TV station, KTLA. I preferred the world of television to the world of film because it moves faster and there aren't long setup times.

Honestly, I didn't see us being number one for the weekend about 10 days ago, Kevin Grayson, the president of worldwide distribution for Lionsgate's motion picture group, said Sunday.
