Despite our site being founded in 1998 after I had just graduated from college and couldn't "find a real job", it wasn't until June 2011 that we were able to get our official YouTube channel up and running (now called JOBLO MOVIE TRAILERS), and boy has it ever been successful since then! Admitedly, even we have been extremely surprised/impressed by the number of views and subscribers that we have generated in the past couple of years, but none us expected our channel to surpass the 500,000,000 (that's half a billion!) views in that sort of amount of time, alongside close to 800,000 subscribers.

Our channel is now ranked in the top 250 channels on all of YouTube (among millions of channels) and has arguably become the #1 movie trailer destination on all of YouTube! And yes, despite still being an independent movie website with absolutely no corporate ties or major backing behind it, our JoBlo.com channel recently surpassed billion-dollar corporations in the industry such as CNN, Warner Bros Pictures, TMZ, Playstation, Adult Swim, ESPN, and many networks including NBC and the like.

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the people who have continued to follow our progression on YT, along with all of the new fans we've been lucky enough to make over the years. We also need to thank many of the movie studios who have been very cool with us over the years (and trust me when I say that it's "not easy" to saunter through the YouTube copyright issues without them) including the good folks at Sony, Universal Studios, Lionsgate, Paramount, FOX and Warner Bros, and even partner channels like Machinima and MovieClips who have been cool enough to work with us whenever issues arose. I also wanted to thank the great Nick Bosworth for managing the shit out of our channel and all of our many "original video content" contributors like Jason Blake, Fortress of Attitude, Justine Browning, Shane Harris, Snark Rocket Studios and Kevin Blanchard. You can check out their many great works in our "Exclusive Video Content" playlist. We're always looking for new video content to post to our channel, so if you've got any great ideas and know how to create them, drop me an email!

Our channel has become a one-stop shop for anyone looking for the latest movie trailers online (and fast! — we're usually one of the first channels to have a big trailer up) and we most recently became the first channel to offer 2K/4K ULTRA-HD versions of some of the top blockbuster trailers, which you can check out in their own Playlist.

We've also got tons of exclusive celebrity interviews, anything cool we cover on JoBlo.com like the Comic Con, as well as a number of originally created videos including bi-weekly Top 10 Lists, bi-weekly MovieHotties 6-Packs, "hottie tributes" and much more! You can check out an example from each of our top playlists below and if you haven't subscribed to our channel, check out our neat INTRO VIDEO below and please continue to share all new videos with your friends! I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has continued to support our site since the beginning. Remember that our site continues to be run by movie fans…for movie fans!
