Letterboxd Is Down – Here's Everything We Know About the Movie App's Outage

Why It Matters

The downtime threatens subscription revenue and erodes confidence in a platform that film enthusiasts rely on for tracking and discovering movies, highlighting the operational risk of third‑party infrastructure dependencies.

Summary

Letterboxd experienced a global outage beginning around 7:20 am ET on 6 Nov 2025, rendering both its app and website inaccessible and prompting over 600 user reports on Downdetector. The disruption coincided with the company’s annual 20%‑off Pro/Patron subscription sale running through 7 Nov, raising concerns about lost sales and user frustration. Users flocked to Reddit and Twitter for workarounds, while the outage appears linked to a Cloudflare rate‑limiting incident that the provider says is being fixed.
