This might sound like a goofy request and one I should be able to find on my own but could someone please rank the top porn companies from the biggest to the smallest? No need to name every company just the major ones. Like for example is DIGITAL PLYGROUND a bigger company (more money and capital) than WICKED? Is JULES JORDAN bigger than EVIL ANGEL? Also, does the bigger companies always sell the most units? Does BRAZZERS line outsell BANGBROS line?
I'm talking DVD sales.
Thanks.

Good luck getting ANYONE to give you a straight answer to this one.
Regardless, Sales don't neccessarily mean Profits, or that the company
is strong financially. It takes another dozen people to make sure
the product is shipped, and the invoices are paid, collected and then
returned to the studio.
Then factor in advertising, marketing, management, talent... it goes
on and on. I'm not sure how many of us actually know the real answer
to this question.

Why would you want to limit it to DVD sales if you're looking for the "biggest porn companies"? It's not 2005 anymore when the web outfits could safely be ignored for such a topic.

^ If someone wants to include web based companies that's fine with me. I personally don't watch web porn so I didn't really care about getting into that aspect of the business.

I know no one here will have hard numbers and I don't care if any list is 100% accurate. I'm just looking for a best guess type of thing. From time to time I refer to the "top companies" in my posts and then I realize that the companies I think are some of the biggest might not be.
For example I just read in another thread that BLACK ICE is going to start concentrating on amateur girl stuff. This was a shock to me because I thought BLACK ICE was a fairly big company in relation to some of the other companies out there. But then I realized I don't have any sort of frame of reference to think that way. Is BLACK ICE bigger than BLACK MARKET? I don't even know which company owns them.

I can't answer with any hard facts because I'm too lazy to do any major research and frankly the important data is not available to a nobody like me. Instead I'll give you companies that still release new content on a regular basis. The list isn't in order: Evil Angel, Elegant Angel, Digital Playground, Hustler, Wicked, 3rd Degree, Zero Tolerance, Voyeur Media, Devils Films, Jules Jordan, Digital Sin, Sineplex, Marc Dorcel, Vivid, Black Ice Diabolic.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some and I didn't include any company that releases web based content like BRazzer, Blacks on Blonds, Dog Fart, No Limits, White Ghetto, Eromaxxx.

Our label mates at Pulse - Cezar Capone, his protege' Emily Rigby and Redlight District are
all putting out new releases every month.
Then there's the 'Web Site Tie In' brands like Reality Kings, Porn.com and MILF Hunter
all putting out new stuff every month too.
On Pulse, I'd say the biggest guns are Vivid, Penthouse, Club Jenna on the top teir,
and then probably Cezar Capone, Redlight and Porn.com just based on the quantity of
product.
This is all just a guess, I have no idea what their actual numbers are.
Maddy G is probably somewhere in the middle there. We release 4 titles a month,
and there's studio's who put out 8, and there's studio's who put out 1 or 2.
