Black Widow Spins New Domestic/Foreign Distribution Arm

Black Widow Productions was launched in earnest when the company landed the exclusive North American distribution rights for German-based John Thompson Productions' German Goo Girls line earlier this year – now they intend to expand upon their success with formation of Black Widow Releasing.

Black Widow Releasing will distribute products produced or purchased under the Black Widow Productions banner. MBMMedia, a Danish distributor with ties in over 42 countries, will collaborate with Black Widow Releasing for global distribution.

"Black Widow has two strengths," Ric Williams, Black Widow president, said. "The first is our relationships with major customers in the United States who are familiar with us from our time at Private and our commitment to delivering top quality products at a fair price in a timely manner with excellent customer service.

"The second is our partnership with MBMMedia in Copenhagen, that allows us to distribute our products in 42 countries. What those strengths mean is that we can offer domestic and worldwide releasing to companies and directors thorough one company — Black Widow."

Williams sees the consolidation in the distribution of adult production as a trend that benefits the consumers and retailers.

"Like many industries that I have been associated with, the adult industry is becoming mature with many emerging studios and producers," he said. "The buyers are being flooded by phone calls from new companies daily and they'll only deal with suppliers that they know and who service them the best. Black Widow is uniquely positioned to handle high-quality lines from Europe and America and is a truly global company, with offices in Los Angeles, Denmark, Spain and England.”
