Vivid’s National Sales Manager, Howard Levine, says the company is receiving an unprecedented amount of positive feedback about The New Devil in Miss Jones, which goes on sale on Wednesday.
“Based on everything we are hearing from the field, this film deserves all the raves it is getting,” Levine said. “The proof is that it is already the biggest adult feature film ever in presale.”
Levine confirmed last week that the company had already submitted its presale figures to the "Guinness Book of World Records" for consideration as "the largest selling, straight adult film ever out the door."
Vivid is marketing the film in a special three-disc set that contains the original movie. The new feature has soundtracks in five different languages – English, Spanish, French, German and Italian, plus commentary by Jenna Jameson, Savanna Samson, Georgina Spelvin and Paul Thomas. There is also a bonus disc featuring a full complement of behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, outtakes and much more.
Several of Vivid's customers from across the country have expressed excitement about the product.
“The New Devil in Miss Jones promises to further the Jenna Jameson phenomenon and is worthy of the Vivid name," said Mike Barry, director of adult operations for DVD Empire. "Adult movie pre-orders are not the norm, but The New Devil in Miss Jones is racking up sales prior to the street date at an alarming rate! I can’t wait to see what this title does when we actually have it on our shelves – if we can keep it in stock! Vivid strikes gold again.”
Debi Yoskey, buyer for GVA, said, "The New Devil in Miss Jones is, without a doubt, the most anticipated film of the year. It will definitely dominate our sales for years to come. Vivid and Club Jenna have created another blockbuster.”
Michael Voss, director of business development, for Gamelink LLC, echoed their sentiments.
“The New Devil in Miss Jones combines the appeal of the golden age of adult with the strength of Jenna Jameson’s popularity. Based on our pre-orders and constant customer inquiries, I anticipate this to be one of the top selling titles of all time.”
The movie stars Jameson as the devil and Samson as Miss Jones. Vivid has erected a billboard in Times Square in New York to promote the film, and Genesis created a special supplement magazine entirely devoted to the project. In addition, Samson and Thomas will be special guests at a release party Thursday night at Crobar in New York.
Michael Atkins, purchasing manager for IVD, called the pre-sales "hotter than hell."
“This is going to be the best adult movie this year," Atkins said. "Vivid has truly outdone itself on this production of The New Devil in Miss Jones. Multiple angles and all the extras included, what more could you want. Oh yeah… Jenna Jameson. Sales for this title should make it the hottest adult video of all time. As an added bonus to all of the extras, you get the original Devil in Miss Jones as well. This is one film that you will want to add to your collection.
"That is if the stores can keep enough on the shelves. Sex as intense as it can get and as only Jenna knows how. The rest of the cast in the movie deliver scenes that just add to the fever of the film. You won’t get burned purchasing this title.”
