Does IMDB have web pages with counts of US`feature films produced by year?
For an analysis of US 'best of' films by year aggregate counts of US feature films produced by year (1900-2023) are needed.
Is this information already available from IMDB?
If not and assuming an IMDB membership is available, how easy (or not) would it be to scrape this information from IMDB.com?
The scraping would be done with a machine learning script.
Any suggestions or thoughts about this project would be greatly appreciated.

@xtc283 Yes, you can do this using advanced title search at https://www.imdb.com/search/title/
For example, for 2022 see https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature&release_date=2022-01-01,2022-12-31&countries=us&count=250
Note that this includes all US co-productions, and given the size of the result set, obviously the majority were not released theatrically.
For more information on accessing advanced title search, see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/discover-watch/using-the-advanced-search-feature/GLUEUYWPQNPTEVPU and for general help on IMDb, see https://help.imdb.com/
Hope this helps.
