Having problems with IMDb

When I do a search for a movie, the page loads fine except for the "Where to watch" feature. It won't load and I get the "Wheel of Insanity" which keeps on spinning endlessly. Anyone else have this problem?

And then use the link from Wikipedia to go to the IMDb page.

And check out this site:

https://www.justwatch.com/

You can search the movie and find out where it streams and you can also find free ones with limited advertisements. I don’t like IMDb because they only direct you to Amazon who owns them.

I just signed up. I noticed they include sites like Hoopla, which IMDb ignores.
