(VAN NUYS, CA) — Briana Loves Jenna, the scorching new video from Vivid featuring Briana Banks and superstar Jenna Jameson, has taken off like a rocket in what Vivid executives say is a trajectory toward becoming an adult film classic.
“Out the door” sales in its first week rivaled that of the infamous Pam and Tommy Lee video of 1999, according to Vivid sales director Howard Levine, and therefore make Briana Loves Jenna one of the fastest starting adult videos of all time.
The initial sales blast for Briana Loves Jenna was followed by a surge of re-orders in the second week.
The video, which has received a four-star review from AVN, features six scenes, with Jenna starring in five of them. Two are boy/girl scenes, Jenna’s first in two years. Some reviewers say the scene between Briana and Jenna is one of the best Girl/Girl scenes ever shot and are predicting it will win industry awards.
Speaking of Jenna, she has teamed up with Kobe Tai to shoot one title for Vivid and another for ClubJenna to be distributed by Vivid. The stars have never before appeared together in a video although their individual features have always been best selling adult titles. The shoots, which took place in early December, marked the first new work by Kobe in two years.
