: Re: Can one feasibly sell an adult-content screenplay? So I may have a few fairly high-quality very-adult screenplays lying around and I was just wondering if there was any hope of my profitting

Eh, it's almost impossible to sell screenplays in general. That you have a screenplay for a movie that would be R or NC-17 moves it from "almost" impossible to "very nearly" impossible.

You know how many movies were released in 2013 with a NC-17 rating? Two, Blue Is The Warmest Color and something called Lucky Bastard.

Which might not sound like much, but it's two more than have been released in 2014.

I suppose you could look at the adult industry, but honestly, I don't think they are paying a lot for screenplays. How much would it cost them to hire something to type up EXT DOORWAY The deliveryman knocks on the door?

That leaves indie films. If you really believed in the quality of the screenplays, you could hunt around for a director who wanted to do them, but don't expect a lot of money up front.
