Porn outsells Hollywood
Although the vagaries of entertainment accounting have become legendary, it is universally acknowledged that the U.S. adult-film industry, at around $12 billion in annual sales, rentals, and cable charges in 2006, is an even grander and more efficient moneymaking machine than legitimate mainstream American cinema (the latter's annual gross came in at $9 billion for 2006).
During this year's AVN Awards AVN (or the Adult Video News) is a glossy magazine that's basically the Variety of the U.S. porn industry the media network released its annual survey of the U.S. adult entertainment industry.
The figures were impressive. Total revenue for 2006 came in at an astounding $12.92 billion. Overall, delivery costs were down for the year, according to AVN, a fact that supposedly accounted for the industry's continued growth.
On the video side of things, while the adult industry saw a significant decrease (15 percent) in sales and rentals last year, the sector managed to remain the largest (28 percent) in the adult entertainment market, accounting for $3.6 billion in 2006 this, despite increasing competition from alleged Internet-based methods of pornographic distribution.
And with video sales remaining the industry's main breadwinner, it was only a matter of time before the first high-definition adult film made its way to the public. The industry, not so surprisingly, chose HD DVD.
Like with a 108-inch LCD television, it wasn't really about practicality as much as it was being first to market and finding a cheap way of doing so.
In December of last year, Wicked Pictures released the industry's first HD DVD title, "Camp Cuddly Pines Power Tool Massacre."
Vice President of DVD Production, Jackie Ramos, characterized it as a movie about people having sex ... and then getting killed.
"Camp Cuddly" also happened to be one of Wicked's more popular titles (it had already seen a DVD release earlier in the year) and the company felt there would be continued demand for the movie in glossier high-definition iteration.
