“There was the golden age of porn in the ’70s, and everybody flooded to the theaters,” said Gracie Passette, a lifestyle columnist on. The adult industry has changed over the years, using different mediums to disseminate content. “People are stealing and downloading a lot more rather than going to a video store and paying $50.” “Sales across the board-for every company in adult DVD or web-based-are in the toilet,” said Adam Grayson, former host of Sirius Satellite Radio’s adult DVD review for Playboy Radio. With the Internet offering free porn, making a movie selling for $70 seems to be opposing the trend of downgrading. “What we feel is that the consumer will pay if it’s a good product.” “We’ve had stores like Hustler Hollywood in Los Angeles sell it for $100, and they run out,” Joone said. He said he wants the customer to feel like it was worth the money. Joone said the four-disc set is full of extra features, with the second disc featuring more than two hours of extended sex scenes. The sex scenes are longer than in the first film. In the second Pirates there are more special effects, with demons, sea-monsters and the return of the skeleton warriors, this time with their own pirate ship. Pirate hunters led by Captain Edward Reynolds follow on a mission to save Manuel and kill the pirates. In the first Pirates, Pirate Captain Victor Stagnetti with his first mate, Serena, kidnap Manuel, the descendant of an Incan king, in efforts to acquire the Scepter of Inca, which gives its owner great powers. Everybody thought we were crazy.”ĭespite the challenges, Digital Playground took the risk of more than tripling the budget from the $3 million invested on the first Pirates released in 2005. “We were spending a lot of money and at the same time charging a lot of money. The production company, Digital Playground, expects to sell more than one million copies. A film selling more than 5,000 copies qualifies as a blockbuster, Joone said. The average adult film has a budget of around $20,000 and sells less than 1,000 copies. The almost $10 million production, Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge, sold a record breaking 240,000 copies in the first week after it was released on Sept. Despite the trend of filming low-budget, amatuer porn for the Internet, one adult production company is succeeding in doing the opposite.
