AlloCiné (English: ScreenRush) is an entertainment website founded by Jean-David Blanc in 1988, then joined by Patrick Holzman. It has belonged to the company since 2013 Webedia. which specializes in providing information on French cinema, mostly centering on novelties' promotion with DVD, Blu-ray , and VOD information. In 2005, it began covering television series. The website is considered the "French equivalent of IMDb." ^[2]

Initially, Allociné was a telephone information service providing cinema program details. It later transitioned into an Internet portal, offering extensive information on all movies distributed in France. The service was known for its easy-to-remember number (40 30 20 10, later 01 40 30 20 10) and lack of additional call charges, distinguishing it from competitors. The voice of Allociné, performed by Patrice Baudrier, became popular and was notably parodied by Gad Elmaleh. The company diversified its offerings to establish itself as a leading web portal for cinema information in France.

In 2000, Allociné launched Allociné Télévision, a television channel dedicated to cinema news, films, and those who create them. In 2005, Allociné expanded its database to include television series. Between 2011 and 2012, Allociné operated an online television channel called Allociné TV and launched Allociné Productions, a subsidiary focused on audiovisual production.

AlloCiné was launched in 1993, before being purchased by Canal+ in 2000 and Vivendi Universal in 2002. From June 2007 to 2013, it was under the ownership of Tiger Global, an American investment fund. 98% of Allociné was purchased by FIMALAC, ^[3] a French holding company owned by Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, for 66.9 million euros. Allociné subsequently became affiliated with Webedia, a company owned by Fimalac.

In January 2015, Allociné, along with SensCritique, Première, and Télérama, was one of four platforms selected by the CNC as partners for the launch of its VOD offer search engine. On 5 September 2011, AlloCiné launched AlloCiné TV, a now-defunct private TV channel.
