Paul, leave the tubes out of a discussion they have no place in.
My company also did not grow big because of tubes, doubt you will ever accept or understand that though.
And of course DVD companies think their core market is DVDs, or they would not be DVD companies. But that does not change the fact that they are losing out big time online. Most DVD companies, including Vivid for example, make far less money offline than we make online. Far less. And this is based on numbers from 4 years ago! I know for a fact that most of the DVD companies out there make less than 1 million a month online.
Most DVD companies out there make far less than 1 million a month in general of course, but that's another point...
Shooters like Vivid, Wicked, Evil Angel and such, for a 2 hour DVD, will pay similar amounts as we do for 2 hours of content, I am very sure of that. We just do not shoot 2 hours of content that is somehow connected. Even our Vampire series was only 1 hour 30 minutes if I am not imstaken.
I honestly do not know how much Vivid or Wicked or such spend right now on a single DVD production. But I would guess that a mid-size production DVD will be anywhere between 20k and 30k for a true feature film. Gonzo obviously a lot cheaper.
I am genuinely interested in this stuff though, so anyone that can shed some light on true financials, I'm all ears!
