A Question

Hello.. I'm on IMDb since 2007, and recently I have been facing a strange problem. When I post a review, the site informs me with the "Estimated processing date". Though, during this year of 2025, this "date" is never ture! For close example: Days ago, I posted a review about Annihilation (2018), and the site told me: "Estimated processing date 3 August 2025". However, we're on 5 August already, and this review isn't approved (or declined!). So why is that, and where's the IMDb's accuracy that I know, and experienced myself for years?! The worst thing though is: What can I do now? Re-post my review, or just wait for the "unkown" estimated processing?! Please guys, tell me the reason behind this continuous recent delay, and the best reaction I can do towards it. Best regards.

Hi elshikh4, Thank you for your problem report. Please do not re-submit your review whilst it is pending processing, this will only result your submissions being declined as duplicate. However, for reference you can find our up-to-date processing times for all data types at the following Help page: https://contribute.imdb.com/times. As you can see, the oldest user review item is dated August 1st. We apologize for the delay in processing your recent reviews, but rest assured this is only a temporary issue and we expect the backlog to reduce, and previous processing times to be restored soon. Cheers!

It looks like you copy-and-pasted the “.” which is not part of the URL: https://contribute.imdb.com/times
