So an average title made $40,000 wholesale. And cost between $25,000 to $125,000 in production cost $75,000 on average? So what am I missing? Seems to me they would of gone out of business in no time at all.

You keep trying to argue my points by completely twisting what I say btw... that's just silly.
Silly me. I need you to explain to me how they can spend more on producing a title than they earned.

You also miss out rental. A few years ago Rental in all videos was huge. Including porn. If you had read AVN's stat you would see they listed rental sales. Yes AVN wasn't the most accurate, but it was still listed.
