“Pirates II” is First Film to Open at #1 in AVN Retail Buzz History
Digital Playground’s adult masterpiece, “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” debuts on the AVN Retail Buzz Top 100 Chart at #1. Paul Fishbein, AVN Media Network’s President, announces this has never happened since AVN started the Retail Buzz. The Retail Buzz Top 100 Chart is based on rental figures from traditional retailers and sales figures from traditional and online retailers. Fishbein says, “I had hoped and predicted that ‘Pirates II’ might help save the sagging DVD business. I think it has exceeded all of our expectations. Never has anything entered the chart at #1 but this movie clearly has emerged as a super blockbuster.” In a review of the film, AVN’s Jared Rutter, writes, “‘Pirates II’ really is an achievement…It's a milestone in adult movies…Retailers: Just keep re-stocking, as the demand for this one isn't going to go away.” It’s that very demand that shot “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” to the top quicker than any adult film ever.

“Already the response to the film has been amazing,” says Joone, the internationally awarded and highly acclaimed writer/director of “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” and Digital Playground’s Founder. “The orders keep pouring in and we keep working around the clock to meet them. Obviously it starts with the fans. Thank you so much to every fan who has supported us, and to the stores and distributors that helped get ‘Pirates II’ to those fans.”
Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground’s CEO, remarks, “Starting off at number one is an immense honor and a tribute to all the hard work that went into the making of ‘Pirates II’. It was also the popularity of the first film that took “Pirates II” quickly to the top, but I know that the film is so astounding and captivating, that people will continue to buy it and keep it at number one for a long time to come.”
Digital Playground is no stranger to having a #1 hit on the AVN Chart. Recent hits “Cheerleaders” and “Babysitters” both spent extended time in the #1 spot on the chart. “Pirates” also dominated the AVN Chart for a couple of years and is still listed as a top selling title by many major retailers. The question is not if “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” will surpass the popularity of the first film, rather how long will it take. If the instant rise to #1 is any indication, it may take less time than anyone could have predicted.
XCritic.com reviewer Don Houston knows that the film is an instant classic. He writes, “‘Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge’ by director Joone for Digital Playground was bigger, bolder, and better in virtually every way imaginable so I rated it as an Xcritic Pick. The amount of fuck for the buck in the movie alone was substantial but combined with the wealth of extended scenes, the heated bonus scene between Stoya, Belladonna, and Katsuni, and the ton of other extras made this a superb offering for those that like features just as much as those that will stick with the gonzo action of the second disc. The production values were very high (you can see every penny on the screen too), the movie having twice as many special effect shots as the original, an even better cast, and the kind of package that you just don't see every day. In terms of big budget blockbusters, ‘Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge’ is so far ahead of everything released in the last year that there is no contest about best feature.”
“Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” stars Digital Playground’s beautiful contract girls Jesse Jane®, Shay Jordan™, Katsuni, Stoya™, Riley Steele™ and Gabriella Fox™. The film costars the talents of BellaDonna, Sasha Grey, Jenna Haze, Brianna Love, Abbey Brooks, Shawna Lenee, Rhylee Richards, Brea Lynn, Shyla Stylez, and Veronica Rayne. Evan Stone, Tommy Gunn, and Steven St. Croix reprise their ground-breaking roles from the original “Pirates”. The film also includes industry studs Manuel Ferrara, James Deen, Marco Banderas, Mick Blue, Ben English, and Charles Dera.
All hands are on deck for the epic, blockbuster “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge”, directed by award-winner Joone, and produced by Joone and his business partner Samantha Lewis. The film released on DVD on September 27.
