AlloCiné is an entertainment website founded by Jean-David Blanc in 1988, then joined by Patrick Holzman. It has been owned by Webedia since 2013. It specializes in providing information on French cinema, mostly centering on novelties' promotion with DVD, Blu-ray, and VOD information. In 2005, it began covering television series. The website is considered the "French equivalent of IMDb." Initially, Allociné was a telephone information service providing cinema program details. It later transitioned into an Internet portal, offering extensive information on all movies distributed in France. The service was known for its easy-to-remember number (40 30 20 10, later 01 40 30 20 10) and lack of additional call charges, distinguishing it from competitors. The voice of Allociné, performed by Patrice Baudrier, became popular and was notably parodied by Gad Elmaleh. The company diversified its offerings to establish itself as a leading web portal for cinema information in France. More information...
