In recent days I'd lean toward those that best get their products on the shelves, in clear view, and in the hands of their customer base.

Worldwide, I'd guess Private - as suggested by the all-time ADT search result.

I guess the answer would depend upon the interpretation of the question, specifically what is implied by the word 'sell'.

If we're simply talking DVD unit sales, then there are various charts around the place and you can compare them and get a median idea. For a more concrete idea, you'd need to know someone who works for one of the big distributors

However, DVD unit sales are only one piece of the puzzle...you also have to factor in stuff like VOD, Cable and Broadcast rights, foreign rights sales, and even website memberships generated by the same content.

Therefore company A can sell less DVD copies of an equally budgeted movie than company B, yet still end up making more money from it.

My guess for best seller would be Private if we're talking the world market as opposed to just the US.

Also looking at units isn't the only thing to look at ... like in the above post.

Something else to consider:

If studio a sells 5000 pieces at 6 bucks, but studio b sold 2700 pieces at 13 bucks ... who made more money? Studio b ... and not only because of price, but also because their is the cost of duplication, sleves, etc.

Plus their are tons of ways you can expand your brand aside from DVD, VOD, Cable, Websites, Mags, Etc.

BTW, i am sure this is the never ending million dollar porno question! But it is always a fun one to guess on.

My vote (counting domestically only) would be the Evil Empire. Based on getting the most amount of money per unit and amount of untis sold. Plus they do it without degrading their brand and always holding an excellent price line.

As far as just units ... Red Light.

I also choice Evil Angel especially worldwide.

I think Evil might be in second place in the U.S. next to Vivid only because of Vivid's hotel and other soft porn distribution outlets like cable adult TV. Vivid does not seem to sell alot of DVDs that I know of but has a huge market in pay for view stuff!

Vivid sells a boat load of compilations.

You are right on that point! I did not think of the compilations at all! I stand corrected!

I think a lot of people want cheap porn.

I think there is a big market out there for people who want a cheap disposable product.
Personally, i value my dvd collection, but most of my friends don't attach any value to pornography.
In fact they probably feel a little bit ashamed....as if they should be getting the 'real thing'.

So i think many guys have only a passing interest in porn ....as opposed to most of us here (who make an effort to track down something better than the norm).

That would explain Vivid compilations selling well.

As far as dvd units, I'd be surprised if Redlight didn't outsell EvilAngel simply because of much cheaper prices.
Even old EA titles are $22-$25 whereas RLD titles are often around $13-15.

Surely only fans would spend the extra $10 on EA. Most people probably don't get past the boxcover.

Passive interest definitely helps sales by any means. They don't care if it is the hardcore fanboy buying or the guy just looking for some cheap thrill. Porn will sell no matter the interest level of the customer, its porn for god's sake.

I think that you need to consider the supply and demand thing...EA's old titles may sell better,giving them no reason to discount there product. The more demand the higher the price. On the other hand, RL may be forced to sell at lower prices (at lower or no profit) just to clear out old unwanted inventory. If this is the case I would rather be in EA's shoes.

The trouble with selling older product at a discount is that you end up getting pressured to reduce the price on newer product sooner. Evil Angel is playing it smart by keeping their prices up, even at the expense of some sales.

Not to quibble, but EA does not keep there prices up, the marketplace does that.

I base my remarks on what I was told by the buyer for a big B&M chain here.
