Adult Site Broker is proud to present this blog post on the most popular porn studios in the United States and other parts of the world. For you newbies, porn is a true production and entertainment industry focused on the creation of content that appeals to consumers who are interested in the cutting-edge trends of content. Some of the biggest adult studios are still in business with other innovative media companies to make a name for themselves. We discuss some of these companies and their impact on the production of adult films and porno content.
Zero Tolerance Films has been an active entrant in the adult entertainment industry for about 20 years. The studio is regarded as a production company dealing with the vertical of crazy gonzo pornographic content. ZT says that it has “zero tolerance for bad porn” and it works to produce high-quality fetish and kink content that is specialized for a particular audience. Zero Tolerance now offers content that includes interracial, gangbangs, BBC, girl on girl, and other content. ZT manages the Zero Tolerance Films premium paysite, Diabolic, and 3rd Degree Films. These three premium porn paysites make up what ZT refers to as the Zero Tolerance Films Network.
Wicked is a popular adult entertainment studio owned by Gamma Billing Inc. Wicked is known for producing high-quality pornographic parodies of some of the most popular mainstream films. For example, the company recently produced a parody by Axel Braun called “Spidey Pool.” The film combines elements of mainstream superhero films “Deadpool” and “Spiderman.” Several of the parodies produced by Wicked are Axel Braun films like “Black Widow XXX” and others. You can see Wicked’s scenes on most mainstream porn platforms and tube sites like Pornhub.com.
Vivid Entertainment is a popular adult film studio that has achieved fame for distributing the sex tapes of celebrities like Playboy alum Kim Kardashian and signer Ray J or the sex tape of MTV stars Tila Tequila and Teen Mom star turned performer and novelist Farrah Abraham. Vivid also hosts a network of websites like Vivid’s celebrity sex tape database, and original production sites like Girls Who Fuck Girls, Black White Fuck Fest, Vivid Classic, and Brand New Faces. Vivid Entertainment is also notorious for possessing the rights to the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape that spurred the production of a Hulu miniseries about the controversy.
Vixen Media Group, or VMG, is the owner and imprint of a group of popular adult film studios including Blacked, Tushy, Deeper, Vixen Angel, and Slayed. The company made a big splash when it first launched because of its branding as a sexual media and lifestyle brand. AdAge, a marketing industry publication, wrote about VMG’s founder, Greg Lansky, and how he worked to create porn production to the quality of noteworthy and high-profile, mainstream film projects. This studio features contract adult stars like the award-winning Maitland Ward who made her debut in adult content with a series of scenes and high-profile productions through Vixen MG.
Third World Media was founded in 1999. The films and pornographic scenes produced by Third World were originally focused on Asian fetish content and Japanese starlets. Since then, Third World Media as a studio has entered into a broader variety of content that includes trans stars, mature and MILF content, and fetish content. Third World also sells VOD and DVD scenes with distribution across the internet and at in-person adult bookstores. Third World Media has had critical acclaim during its peak years in the early 2000s. For instance, the now-defunct Adam Film World awarded the studio with the title of “Best Asian Release Company.” AVN awarded the studio in 2009 another award related to its Asian-focused content. XBIZ awarded Third World Media in 2013 for its Asian-themed series “Hello Titty” and its trans adult studio content.
Smash Pictures is an adult entertainment studio that has specialized in gonzo pornographic content for a while now. Smash Pictures made headlines in 2012 when the production firm behind the film adaptation of “Fifty Shades of Grey” sued the porn studio for its own XXX parody. Since then, Smash Pictures has won critical acclaim in the adult entertainment space for its parodies of other mainstream film titles and its diverse offering of content and premium scenes. Smash Pictures has a network of partner studios like Combat Zone XXX, Black Market XXX, and lesbian imprint Filly Films.
The Score Group is a network of studios and adult film imprints that range in fetishes and kinks. Score says that it is responsible for launching the careers of major porn stars like Linsey Dawn McKenzie, Danni Ashe, and Mary Carey. Score publishes nine magazines each month, and several dozen sites that publish highly produced sex scenes and series through their premium memberships and paysites. The Score Group also prides itself on owning most of its production and film means, including a large, state-of-the-art studio space in a suburb of Miami, Florida.
Brazzers is world-renowned for its production work. Owned by MindGeek, the Brazzers Network is an exclusive studio partner to the globally recognized porn tube site Pornhub.com. Brazzers Network is referred to as the “greatest library in porn.” The network of sites includes blue-chip brands like Hot and Mean, Real Wife Stories, MILFs Like It Big, Mommy Got Boobs, Big Wet Butts, Teens Like It Big, Big Tits In Sports, Busty and Real, Brazzer’s Vault, and other brands. Brazzers is also one of the most trafficked paysites on the internet with a far-reaching audience.
Bang Bros is a popular adult studio and network of premium membership paysites. Bang Bros is the studio and imprint that saw the rise of porn superstar Mia Khalifa by casting her in dozens of scenes across its library of premium gonzo and fetish porn. Even after Mia Khalifa’s debunked accusations against Bang Bros for not paying her enough for her superstardom, the studio still remains a prominent player in the space of step-sibling porn, MILFs, reality, and nubile stars. Violet Myers, before becoming a contract star with Vixen Media Group, starred in several porn scenes for Bang Bros, also. She essentially became the “replacement” for Mia Khalifa. Outside of the personal politics of porn stars versus studios, Bang Bros still produces content across the gamut of categories. The Bang Bros porn network includes Backroom Facials and PAWG.com.
Adult Time is an imprint and umbrella brand that covers several porn studios. Also owned and operated by Gamma Billing Inc., Adult Time has created a Netflix-style streaming platform for all of its content. Studios that work with Adult Time include several award-winning brands. Bree Mills, the award-winning chief creative officer and adult film director for Adult Time, has a hand in the production of scenes and exclusive series from imprints like Transfixed, Modern-Day Sins, Mommy’s Girl, and more. Other studios and brands include Pure Taboo, Girls Under Arrest, Muses, and others.
