.movie is a top-level domain (TLD) that was delegated by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in March 2015 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The TLD is managed by Donuts Registry, a subsidiary of Donuts LLC. The proposed application for .movie was successful, and the domain was delegated to the Root Zone on March 25, 2015. This new gTLD is intended for use in the media industry, specifically motion pictures.
The acquisition of a .movie domain is subject to certain restrictions. The string went through an ICANN auction on November 19, 2014, and was won by Donuts Registry. Two applicants, Amazon and Dish DBS Corporation, received a GAC Early Warning from the Australian representative and the GAC Chair, Heather Dryden. The warning recommended that these applications be denied due to concerns over exclusive access to a common generic string related to a broad market sector, which could negatively impact competition. Therefore, potential buyers should ensure they are not infringing on any intellectual property rights or violating competition regulations before purchasing a .movie domain. There are currently 3,328 registrations for this TLD, with 1,658 parked domains.
