LOS ANGELES—A bold new vision of a world where fairytales and modern adult entertainment collide, the Wicked Pictures DVD Craving II is entering its second week in the coveted #2 position on the Adult Video News Top 200 Sales and Rentals chart, solidifying the movie's reputation for being as big a hit with consumers as it is with leading adult film critics.

One of the longest-running sales aggregates in adult entertainment, AVN's Top 200 Sales and Rentals chart tracks and compiles current statistics from traditional "brick and mortar" retailers as well as sales figures from traditional and online e-tailers. The current chart, which shows director Brad Armstrong's erotic fairytale holding the #2 spot for the second week in a row, can be viewed here. The movie also continues to be a highly-rated Top Ten hit at AdultDVDEmpire.

Starring Wicked Girls Jessica Drake and Alektra Blue, this stylish production brings together an A-list ensemble cast that includes India Summer, Ash Hollywood, Tanya Tate, Kortney Kane, Dale Dabone, Rocco Reed, Derrick Pierce, Eric Masterson, Marcus London, Seth Gamble, Xander Corvus, Kris Slater and actor/filmmaker/art director Brad Armstrong.

About Craving II: Imagine everything one has heard about fairytales is true. These magical stories may seem familiar, but they’re not quite as you remember them. Beloved bedtime tales of old have been brought back in a darker, more depraved form. No longer sweet and diluted for the masses, these ribald stories place Jessica in lush scenes of sex and sin, passion and perversion, and desire and debauchery. In their spellbinding follow-up to the AVN award winning The Craving, Armstrong, Drake and Wicked have created an all-new chapter in their erotic fairytale anthology. Craving II is now in stores nationwide.

The critics at Adult DVD Talk wasted no time in giving this modern erotic fable a stellar review, capped off by a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. "This sexy tale is enchanting from start to finish," they observe, adding "Jessica Drake was excellent, enthralling even in setting up the tales with her soothing voice. The costumes worn were chosen well and looked fantastic on the ladies. The stories were familiar ones and for our purposes given the changes needed to make them PERFECT for porn!"

Bolstered by brisk sales and filled with the sexy magic of our most beloved fairytales, Craving II is a fitting follow-up to the AVN award-winning original from master storyteller Brad Armstrong.
