I am stuck here for a while I didn't understand the problem. Kindly someone enlightens me on this topic. here's the code.

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async() => {
    let infourl = 'https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3';
    let browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    let page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto(infourl, { waitUntil:'networkidle2' });
    let data = await page.evaluate( () =>{
        let stats = document.querySelector('div[class="title_wrapper"]').innerText;
        return {stats};
    });
    console.log(data);
    debugger;
    await browser.close();
})();

here is the log::

internal/util.js:209
    throw new errors.TypeError('ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE', 'original', 'function');
    ^

It occurred to the latest version of puppeteer.
Your scripts will work properly in the lower version.

Try this script:
