Fans of popular movie-reviews social network Letterboxd were frustrated Thursday by an extended outage that has left the service inaccessible.
A message on the Letterboxd site currently says, “We’re taking a short break between rounds. Letterboxd is down for scheduled maintenance. We’ll be back soon!” It’s accompanied by a photo still of Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese’s “Raging Bull.”
Reps for Letterboxd did not immediately respond to a request for more information.
Letterboxd — which has attracted celebrity fans including Scorsese, Margot Robbie, Olivia Rodrigo, Ava DuVernay and Christopher McQuarrie — says it has more than 10 million registered accounts. The company was founded in 2011 by New Zealand natives Matthew Buchanan and Karl von Randow, who last year sold a 60% controlling stake to Canadian investment firm Tiny in a deal pegging the company’s value at over $50 million.
Users took to social media to express their dismay about the Letterboxd outage — with many of them, of course, using clips from movies:
