Hello!
I first inquired about this but maybe sent it to a wrong email. I was then assisted to send this idea here where others can see it and vote on it.
Well to start this off I'm a curious fellow and, in addition, design and develop websites and applications. I have a question relating to the movies' title pages (mainly regarding the decision on where the movie's genres are located).
I hadn't visited IMDB for a while and just noticed that the website is basically redesigned and I personally like the design/look it has. However, the location of the genres is something that I don't fully understand. Why are the genres located below the picture and the possible trailer? Why not put the genres below the title, year published etc. instead?
Picture below to demonstrate what I mean:

I understand that there might be cases where there's simply too many genres (would it be even possible?) and it would mess up the sub-navigation. But in cases like this some sort of pagination could be implemented. Or maybe there has been a discussion of this but you wanted to specifically leave the genres out because you wanted to associate the top header fully to the information that it currently has. If this is the case then it doesn't really make sense to me unless you plan on adding a bunch of links there.
However, if you don't plan to add anything into the particular sub-navigation header, then
I have a strong opinion that the best location for the genres would be below the movie name, year published, age allowed, duration (I.E the most sought after information). Genres are one of the most sought-after information and a lot of users (including me) Google a movie name and add IMDB to the end of it and visit IMDB to check out how long the movie is, when it was published or what genres does it have. It would be good to have the genres displayed together with this type of information.
It would catch the eye almost immediately.
I would love to know why the genres are currently located as is. Certainly your decision may have been for the better but I'd like to know the reasoning behind it, if (hopefully) possible.
Thank you very much in advance for reading this message/idea. I'd say that this isn't an idea per-se because I just wanted to know from the developers (if possible) why the genres are located as they currently are.
Sincerely,
Jesse

Just a quick update:
I have no idea why the last three paragraphs are displayed as they are. I did press enter.
