## Summary

The New York Times Company is reportedly in exclusive negotiations to buy Letterboxd for about $330 million, which would be a significant expansion of its digital offerings. The deal is not final and could still fall through; Letterboxd would reportedly remain a standalone site for the foreseeable future.

Letterboxd has 30 million members who use it to log, rate and review films, and is projected to generate $15 million in revenue in 2026. Canadian investment group Tiny bought 60 per cent of the company in 2023 and reportedly began seeking a buyer this year at a valuation of about $250 million. The Times Company could bring its advertising technology to the platform, while its existing mix of subscriptions and advertising may complement Letterboxd’s business.
