What's going to happen when IMDb reaches 10 million titles?

Currently, IMDb has over 9,125,000 titles, in the form of "tt#######" in the URL's, which means the highest title, respecting this format, will be tt9999999 (or 9,999,999).  Titles with a number under 1 million have leading 0's (like tt0072562 is SNL for example), so I'm wondering, will titles 10,000,000 and over just have an extra digit, or will it bump all titles to have an extra digit in their number (so SNL goes from tt0072562 to tt00072562)?

Let the Y2K conspiracy theories commence!

The same thing as when the ID number of registered persons recently reached 10.000.000: the existing IDs remain the same, and it goes from tt9999999 to tt10000000.

Actually, this is my pure personal guess, but I do not see why titles should be treated differently from names!
Moreover, I see that Col Needham has "liked" my message above (thanks!) so I think we can take it as an implicit approval.

I hadn't thought about checking names before ACT_1 had responded with examples.  It's why I said he was no fun, because he provided a factual answer before others could wonder the same thing.  (An answer that I didn't know before hand, so I still do appreciate his giving that information.)

Are you sure there are 9,125,000 titles? Because official statistics page has a number of 5,310,913.

That is a good point about the official statistics page.

I don't know if I'm doing this correctly, but this link currently shows 9,615,436 titles.

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=!fake-keyword

(I ran this search using "fake-keyword" as a fake keyword, but you could replace that with anything you like.)

Meanwhile, the official statistics page currently shows 8,744,296 titles (as of Dec. 2021).

If it's indeed true that there are currently 9,615,436 titles, and if it's also true that there were 9,125,000 titles back in Oct. 2018, then IMDb probably still has a couple years before hitting the 10M mark.

--

Edit: I just realized that I was misinterpreting the original post, which was purely about the potential number of titles in the numbering sequence if each slot were used, not about the actual number of titles.

@ACT_1​ I realize this is slightly off-topic from the original post, but any idea why the number of titles at the official stats page is about 900,000 less than shown at the second link below?

https://www.imdb.com/pressroom/stats/

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=!fake-keyword

I realize the stats page is dated Dec. 2021. Is this as simple as there have been 900K new titles added in the past three months? If not, why the discrepancy in the numbers?

I suspect that as titled are cleared (fake titles submitted, duplicates merged/removed, etc.), those numbers become available again and get used by a new title.

@Wolfie​ Are you responding to my question, or to the original post?

If to me, I don't think that would account for the discrepancy. This link shows all real titles and does not include titles removed from the database.

@keyword_expert​ To you.

You think that it would cause discrepancies if they were to re-use a previously used title number?  What kind of discrepancies would it cause?  The other alternative would be to do some skipping and come back later to use the ones that got skipped.  But that wouldn't make any sense.

The reason I pointed it out is because you can find examples of titles that are newer (and got added later) than older titles but have lower numbers than those older titles.

For example, "The Batman (2022)" is tt1877830 while "Avengers: End Game (2019) is tt4154796.  Either 1877830 was skipped the first time around and finally filled in, or it was used for another title that got purged for some reason.  Possibly a fake submission, or a project that didn't pan out, etc.

Also, to ignore or dismiss the idea of old numbers being reused would in itself create a discrepancy.  In your search result, there are under 9.7M results.  Yet, there is a title tt9900000.  How could that exist if the highest possible number is under 9.7M?

I think we are all talking past each other, about slightly different topics.

Here is the issue I am focused on.

This link currently shows 9,616,128 titles (it has gone up by several hundred titles in just the last three hours).

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=!fake-keyword

As far as I can tell, all of the titles at that link are valid titles. You can even sort by release date to see titles from 1874 to titles in pre-production.

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=%21fake-keyword&sort=release_date,asc

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=%21fake-keyword&sort=release_date,desc

I don't see any "blank" titles in there. (What would a "blank" title even look like in these results, and how could they be located?)

Despite the links above showing 9.6M titles, the official statistics page currently shows only 8.7M titles (as of Dec. 2021).

My question is, why the discrepancy between 8.7M in Dec. 2021 and 9.6M in March 2022? Have there really been 0.9M titles added to the database in the past three months? Or is there some other reason for that discrepancy?

I don't think my questions have anything to do with whether numbers within the sequence have been skipped, reused, etc. That is a totally different topic, and it would not answer my question.

(Sorry for posting my question in this thread; at first I didn't realize that this thread was about the total numbers available in the sequence; I mistakenly assumed the thread was about the actual number of titles listed in the database.)

I didn't say anything about "blank" titles.  I've only referred to ones getting reused.  My guess is that when ACT says it, they are referring to a title having been removed and if you still visit the URL of a previously existing entry, it'll be a blank entry of some sort.  It wouldn't show up in any list since it'd obviously be flagged as not being in use.

@Wolfie​ Yeah, it was @ACT_1 who used the term "blank" title pages. I think that's an imprecise term. When I saw @ACT_1 using the word "blank," I interpreted "blank" to mean that there actually is an entry at that title page but it lacks any data (by analogy, like a blank sheet of paper.)  But I think what @ACT_1 means by "blank" is that a specific number is unused for a title (by analogy, there is no piece of paper at all). 

None of this resolves my questions, though, involving the actual number of titles actually in the database. By all outward appearances, and unless someone can prove otherwise, that number appears to be 9,629,194 titles and counting (rapidly approaching 10 million).

@ACT_1​ Thanks for clarifying, but I still think "blank" is not an appropriate word for this type of example either. I would refer to a title like this as "incomplete," not "blank." Indeed, it is largely incomplete. But at least it has the title/name/date, so it's not completely "blank." 

By analogy with my paper examples, this is like a sheet of paper with a subject line and date, but nothing else. So not completely blank, but rather largely incomplete.

Maybe. The title of this thread is about IMDb reaching 10 million titles. I believe I have established that IMDb will achieve the 10 million mark (for actual listed titles) fairly soon -- probably about one month from now. I'm not sure what else there is to be said on the topic, unless anyone is contesting my prediction.

@keyword_expert​ if you are a contributor you should have access to https://contribute.imdb.com/dataset the Contributor Datasets. The interesting one here is title.basics.tsv.gz which has a header line then one line per title. The files are refreshed daily according to the readme.

The current version of that file has 8,773,132 lines. Subtract one for the header and that gives a count of 8,773,131 titles.

I do not know why your search gives a larger number.

Interesting. I wasn't able to get the whole file loaded up on my end, but I will trust you on the numbers.

That figure of 8,773,131 titles is more in line with the official stats page (8,744,296 titles as of Dec. 2021). 

It does remain a mystery why the "not keyword" search gives the higher number (currently 9,637,878 titles). All I can think of is this search number must somehow include title values that are not (or no longer) in use, similar to what @ACT_1 was suggesting.

Maybe I will start up a new thread on this exact question, after all....

@ACT_1​ It is unclear exactly what @brianrisselada is referring to in that post, specifically where he says "Music Video category."

But if he means the Music genre, that may account for as many as 471,708 titles. That would be a good chunk of the ~900,000 titles I have noted as a discrepancy between my keyword search and the official results (as of Dec. 2021).

That is slightly higher than my "not fake-keyword" search, which currently yields 9,645,659 titles.

So, which number is the correct number for knowing the current number of titles in IMDb?

There are at least four different options, all of which yield a different number:

(1) The official stats page: 8,744,296 titles (as of Dec. 2021)

(2) The title.basics.tsv.gz file: 8,773,131 titles (as of yesterday)

(3) The combination of all titles type searches, as discussed herein: 9,835,250 titles (as of today)

(4) The ""not fake-keyword" search: 9,645,659 titles (as of today)

Which number is most accurate in yielding the current number of titles listed in the database?

I mentioned in the other thread, but to confirm here I was not talking about Music Video keyword or any genre category. I was indeed referring to the Title Type as filtered here: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=music_video

(1) Is accurate as of December 2021, however, hundreds of thousands of titles have been added since then; the page is updated quarterly so is due an update soon

(2) Is accurate for the titles which it includes (the new title types are not included in this file as covered in the other thread)

(3) Is NOT accurate. Your assumption that there is no overlap in the title types is incorrect, sorry.

(4) Is accurate, covers all non-adult titles, and is continuously updated as new titles are approved. 

So to answer your question, if we include adult titles, then the most up-to-date count of unique live titles on IMDb is actually 9,919,667 (at the time of writing) and can be obtained via a modification of the query you used in #4 -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=!fake-keyword&adult=include

[edited to remove my final point as I misunderstood the source you were using for #3, sorry; edited again to clarify on adult titles]

@Col_Needham​ Thank you very much for the detailed answer. And thank you for the reminder about Adult films -- I can't believe I forgot about that. 

This confirms that my intuition was correct as a quick means of identifying how many titles are currently listed in IMDb.

This also confirms that the titles are indeed rapidly approaching 10 million! IMDb should somehow specially commemorate the occasion when it occurs.

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=!fake-keyword&adult=include

9,925,892 titles.

Have a great weekend, Mr. Needham.

@ACT_1 

That search is a good way to monitor new future releases as they are added to the database.

By my calculations, the total number of titles on IMDb will hit 10 million in 4 to 7 days.

LOL.

I will bet a "fake-bitcoin" that the date will be 23 March. What is your guess?

@ACT_1​ Okay, and we are going by Greenwich Mean Time, I presume.

It will probably be within a few hours of midnight as the date passes from one of those dates to the other (March 22 to 23), in which case one of us will be rich in fake-bitcoins.

As I recall, there was or is another thread on the forum inquiring about what would happen when the number of IMDb name page public URLs (to ever exist) exceeded one million. Such bizarre curiosities. I don't remember which inquiry came first, about tconst or nconst. We learned very quickly that an extra digit would be introduced at the front of the nconst, so the same will apply to the tconst.

By the way, 32-bit computers are going to have a problem when the number of seconds since Epoch reaches 2,147,483,648, in late January of 2038. This will be an important thing to know, for anybody still running a 32-bit system by then, a little more than decade an a half from now. It may be worse than the "Y2K" problem was.

Yes, that same point was made earlier in this very thread with regard to the number sequencing for titles.
