The cost of shooting that kind of stuff is really high compared to just using a digital video camera. If you have known people in it and can put a ton of money marketing it you can do well with it like the Pirates movies by Vivid. However, in the real world you would spend half your time just trying to keep it off the tube and torrent sites and it would be pretty difficult to make your money back on it.
The other day I was listening to Howard Stern and he had on a pornstar (I forget her name) and she was saying how about 3 years ago she was getting anywhere from $1500-$3000 a scene and now she gets around $800-$1000 and all the producers tell her there is just too much free porn and their profits are too low to pay her any more.
It was pretty interesting.
