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...
And most Adult Internet based companies make less than 1 million a month. Some used to, but not many. Remember the price Adult.com was sold to Playboy for? Not the price of a company making or even turning over a million a month.

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 know what there contnet is like. I don't know what your new content is like. Spending money doesn't give you great porn. It takes more.

So email me a 2 day pass to Brazzers and let me see what your content is like. I will write you a critique of the content. Stating why I think what I do about it in a constructive way. Good or/and bad. I will point out ways to improve, what's good and what's not and why.

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.
And I don't know either. I do know recently Private were paying 5000 Euros a scene. This was a big drop from the 25,000 GBP they used to spend. I don't see any porn company hiring a chateau for a week to shoot in.

I am genuinely interested in this stuff though, so anyone that can shed some light on true financials, I'm all ears!
I'm genuinely interested in seeing what Brazzers content is like now.
