The first Pirates released in 2005 to rave reviews. Even before
its release, there was immense anticipation as it was the
biggest budgeted adult film ever (until now). When a massive
budget and dazzling special effects are combined with
superstars like Jesse Jane®, the result is the best-selling,
most award-winning adult film of all time, with over 40
international awards and 14 AVN Awards, including “Best
DVD”, “Best Director”, and “Best Selling Title” 2 years in a
row! However, the most impressive feat of Pirates was the
mainstream appeal and marketability.
The film premiered at the famed Egyptian Theatre on
Hollywood Blvd., with prominent coverage by E!,
Entertainment Tonight, Fox, Variety, Hollywood Reporter,
LA & NY Times, and many other media affiliates. An edited
version of Pirates went on to earn an “R” rating by the
MPAA and appeared on the shelves of Blockbusters and
Best Buys around the country, making it the first adult film
to truly cross into the mainstream market. Additionally,
the Pirate’s soundtrack was released on CD and carried
by all the major distributors, including Amazon. Pirates
remains on the top of international sales charts. |
