The New York Times Company has reportedly “entered exclusive negotiations” to acquire Letterboxd for $330 million, according to a report from The New York Times itself. Letterboxd, an online platform for movie lovers that could be compared to Goodreads for movies, has grown dramatically in recent years.

据《纽约时报》自身报道，纽约时报公司据称已“进入独家谈判阶段”，拟以 3.3 亿美元收购 Letterboxd。Letterboxd 是一个面向电影爱好者的在线平台，可比作电影界的 Goodreads，近年来发展迅速。

Letterboxd reported 3 million users in January 2021, a figure that grew to 28 million by April of this year. More than half of its users are under 35. Letterboxd was previously reported to be seeking a new owner.

Letterboxd 在 2021 年 1 月报告拥有 300 万用户，这一数字到今年 4 月已增长至 2800 万。其用户中超过半数年龄在 35 岁以下。此前曾有报道称 Letterboxd 正在寻找新东家。

According to the Times, film studios A24 and Sony were interested in the acquisition, but A24 was priced out. Letterboxd is free, but users can access advanced features with a paid subscription. Its projected earnings for this year are estimated at $15 million, which is only about 4.5% of what the Times is supposedly offering to buy the company for.

据《纽约时报》称，电影制片厂 A24 和索尼曾有意收购，但 A24 因价格过高而退出。Letterboxd 可免费使用，但用户可通过付费订阅获取高级功能。其今年预计收益约为 1500 万美元，仅为《纽约时报》拟收购价格的 4.5% 左右。

The New York Times Company declined to comment on the acquisition to its own paper (lol). Personally, we wouldn’t be surprised if these anonymous tips were coming from inside the house, so we’re inclined to take this report pretty seriously.

纽约时报公司拒绝就此次收购向自家报纸置评（笑）。就个人而言，如果这些匿名消息来自内部，我们也不会感到惊讶，因此我们倾向于认真对待这份报告。
