Somebody Is Getting Fucked In This Biz, Chances Are It’s Us:
According to the 800 lb gorilla there’s a new study out that places the porn biz at 13 BILLION dollars this year. More specifically it places video sales and rentals at 4.3 billion, that BILLION y’all $4,300,000,000 . AVN also noted that last year we had 13,500 releases.
Now what the gorilla didn’t do was the math, I guess thats for us upper primates…so here it is
$4,300,000,000 divided by 13,500 = $318,519
Now for all you porn guys and porn chicks who are looking at that and scratchin yer head going huh? that would be the average sales totals on each of those 13,500 videos.
That’s right 318,00.00 per video. hmmm I know I ain’t making even 2% of that and I own the fuckers.
So either we need to come together for a more equitable deal as directors and talent or those numbers are pulled out of someones ass….or both…
