Well according to the link porn sells 25% more in gross profit videos then mainstream films.
That is one massive voting block of
waiting to be tapped (strapped?) into.

I guess that it's more popular to masturbate to normal porn flick than King Kong, and it should be seen as a positive health sign.... 
can we use masturbate on this fourm?
Its easy to make more profit when your over heads consist of,
2x $50 ladies of questionable morrality.
2x Horny Guys off street "Free"
1x Hotel room $25
1x $80 camera
You wouldnt get speilberg for 20 seconds for that
Let alone a script actors an the rest of it

The stats aren't for the net profit it is for the gross profit... total sales, they don't list costs... so in all likely hood the margins are even better.
It's a bit sad, really.
The key phrase here is 'theatrical revenue'; the totals for real films don't include DVD sales, which would put real films ahead by a far margin.

No, they are comparing watching porn at home by buying a video or watching a channel with seeing a regular movie at the cinema. Hardly worth comparing.

I heeard this somewhere else but I still find it hard to believe.
Sideways comment, but inflating your sales figures in an area where no one can really check what is going on could be classic money laundering. "Why yes officer, I sold a billion dollars worth of "Horny Vegetables 3". In no way was I given that money by Tony Soprano, ran it through my books and paid my taxes, and returned 80% of the remainder to him as apparently legitimate dividends. No, there are no credit card records, it seems people prefer to pay cash. I guess they must be shy..."
Next time you read a profile of, say, the owner of a certain chain of lap dancing clubs who claims each club takes something absurd like £400,000 a week, bear this in mind kids...

18.7+8.9 = 27.6 billion, quite a bit more than 12.6. I have no problems believing that the porn industry is that big, I hear that Russia's biggest export is pornography, for example.The home video industry experienced its best year ever in 2001 with U.S. spending totaling $18.7 billion.

And yet business is still quite good.... Hmm, makes you think hollywood is barking up the wrong tree in blaming piracy for their woes. if anyone should be complaining about internet piracy cutting into their sales, it should be these guys.

I agree. I personally wouldn't buy a porn movie to see it more than one time (it gets boring of course) but I would buy a lot of DVD of other categories to see them more than just once, wich makes them more valuable to me. I believe that the average person thinks that way, but I might be wrong.The key phrase here is 'theatrical revenue'; the totals for real films don't include DVD sales, which would put real films ahead by a far margin.

Wouldn't the 12.6 be a component of the 18.7... making it 2/3rds of the market? Would be useful to have complete lists of the same year.
Either way 12.6 billion is massive.
silly....silly people....
who the hell pays for porn?.....
don´t they know that...
that´s what the internet is for?

I wouldnt be so sure if I were you. What do you think keeps most mom and pop video stores in buissiness? What movies dont blockbuster and hollywood video rent? Again if theres anything I know its the movie and video buissiness. I sell dvds for a living and I can tell you the XXX out sells everything by a mile. I doubt the sales of reguar movies would push it past the porn numbers. The best part is I pay only a dollar fifty for most catalogue pornos and sell them all day 10 dollars each 3 for 25. What a profit margin. Its better than selling coke and legal.The key phrase here is 'theatrical revenue'; the totals for real films don't include DVD sales, which would put real films ahead by a far margin.
PS My brothers store has over 5000 in stock for rent.
The solution is quite clearly to make a cleverly plotted, superbly acted porn flick.
That would stomp all over the box office.
