There was no internet component to moviefone back then. I think you are narrowly defining "dotcom". It was acquired by AOL, which made it a subsidiary of a "dotcom" which entangled it in the overall dotcom bubble. I think that is fair association. You may disagree, but it's hard to argue that Moviefone did not benefit from the "rampant speculation" of the late 90s.

Another argument one can make is that it is listed as a "Film database" here. So there is definitely a tech component. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_AOL

And finally, it was turned into a site as well (though I couldn't find a hard date for when that occurred). https://www.moviefone.com/
