$8 MILLION dollars to produce a Porn Film?
 

According to a segment on CNBC right now someone spent $8m last year to produce ONE film

I find that figure very hard to believe

Pirates2?

maybe rupies - but dollar?

the most expensive i could remember would be Pirates II - and even that is far away from 8 million dollar

whatever, you can film pron for under 8k let alon mil lol

I believe it was the Donny Long Story

maybe about, but on what they spent 8 mil ?!?

"The producer stated in an interview that Pirates was the most expensive pornographic film made to date,[1] with a reported budget of over 1 million U.S. dollars"


An 8 million dollar porn movie.. Is Digital Playground taking it up another notch?

Good money

maybe something like a feature film about porn??? those run high dollars....

CNBC is full of shit

For $8 million, a pornstar better leap out of the screen and have sex with whoever is watching

That also includes marketing.

Bullshit from CNBC, no doubt

That would be nice :thumbsup

Was it that IPorn guy? :1orglaugh
Edit: No wait, he never actually finished anything did he?

what was the $8.00 porn movie

:1orglaugh

It would be a waste of 8 million dollars. They would never see a positive return on that.

The Girlfriend Experience starred Sasha Grey, but it wasn't an adult film...and even that was only $1.7M budget.

Are y'all insinuating that a news network wouldn't have their facts straight and would report erroneously?

I just can't imagine that...

They reported that and didn't say which studio it was? Did the studio make them sign a confidentiality agreement or something? This doesn't add up.

That is too much money.If they include in this prize visual effects maybe is possible LOL :D

the only good thing about CNBC is maria bartiromo

exactly what i am thinking. so I assume who ever they interviewed who gave them that price tag was just trying to make themselves look like a big baller

trish regan is way hotter

it was a teaser for their up coming series on Porn

I think it airs next week

That movie, with a budget of more than $1 million, had special effects (pirates materializing from the mist), and, yes, lots of sex. Two years later, the movie’s studio, Digital Playground, spent $8 million on a sequel — a remarkable sum in an industry where the average movie costs $25,000, according to the director of the two movies, Ali Joone.

they likely meant studios spent 8 million dollars combined to make porn videos :winkwink:

I don't believe everything I hear or read. This is one of those occasions.

For some reason I can not see 8 mil on a porn

they probably spent <100k, and told the media 8 million just to create ton of hype, it's not like anyone can actually verify those numbers... :thumbsup

Brazilioan scat movies costs that, yeah, need to pay big money to the girls to eat poo

Must have been Pirates 2. Actually rented it at Blockbuster last month... Melissa loves pirate movies and we saw the first one... (cough) They made their money back with cross-over to mainstream, for sure!

I don't believe you (CNBC), you need more people.

I have a friend in Sao Paulo that shoots scat. I've never even asked him how much. What an odd thing to be into.

To get a return it has to cross to the mainstream, there would never be a return anywhere else.

Interesting theory. Without character development why bother buying? It's that and the genuineness of the sex that makes movies different and worth buying.

They are likely hoping to sell this to real customers like pay per view and hotel chains not the usual internet shmucks everyone on this board is shooting for. Looks like you've been out-pimped..

ps. Sleazy, this would be what diversifying and mainstreaming would mean if you produce porn!

Do you know what they pay for those rights? Doubt if they will make a return on those markets.

Pirates + Pirates2 + Marketing?

Good to know. :)

well DWB, it was irony, used to be really cheap, dunno about these days, all the girls I know who used to do that (and beasty) are out of those niches now....

Hell I woulda done it for 6 million. SAved them a few bucks.

money to blow
