Is EKS ditching Pornbox?!?

[dap-addict]

In Slavic culture no answer is usually a bad answer.
I know some bts but mainly about fees. It's not very optimistic news. But at least there seem to be bookings going on somehow.

The situation at EKS is quite worrying. As I predicted, since EKS stopped uploading scenes to Pornbox, the number of gangbangs with DP or DAP and naked women has dropped dramatically. It's no coincidence that the scene "Fucking Hostel Wet, Indy Lix, 4on1, BWC, ATM, Balls Deep, DP, Rough Sex, Pee Drink/Shower, Cum in Mouth, Swallow AH143" has sold so much despite not including DAP and feeling somewhat claustrophobic (I'm not a fan of Andrew X scenes in small spaces).

What surprises me is the large amount of scenes already filmed by EKS that haven't been released yet. I mean, there's so much material waiting to be released, not just behind-the-scenes material. And it frustrates me to no end that I can't access that material for purchase.

I think we'll eventually see that material. But Erika will probably leave Pornbox anyway. In my opinion, it might not happen. But just in case EKS leave Pornbox I think a studio similar to Gonzo should be created, as EKS is/was. If not, the number of gangbangs with naked women will be extremely limited. AGO continues to indiscriminately clothe women, and in GIO, although there has been a better balance lately (AH143 is proof of this), the number of GIO studios new scenes is much lower than it was just a year ago.

Seems like a divorce. Analvids/pornbox doesn't feature EKS videos in generic recommendations/best seller lists anymore as well.

I know of big mainly Russian import plans to Brasil. That seemed like a good idea to reproduce SOS Mexico move for freer and saver porn shootings with no visa issues. But than financing seemed to be in question, they started to re-negotiate already agreed DAP fees and stuff and finally last thing I heard was they were not interested in Slavic girls anymore.
I understand very well that porn production needs to be sustainable and Brazilian girls just work for 3 times less, while their payment still is motivating and fair. Nopro with that basically, but given words are just given words.
Now last act is a vicious circle starting with more and more end users quitting subscription and cash drying out completely.

Some kind of communication could at least halt that!
But no, EKS puts their head into sand!

[feltrough]

no surprising, customers dont want to stay and pay for nothing it is very poorly communicated situation.

[Jimbo8012395]

EKS made a big song and dance about sending emails with updates and never sent it.

No new content here. No explanation of what's going on. Things do not look good at all.

[Zeok]

I still think that if EKS collapses, there's a chance that Pornbox will too. EKS has been the closest thing to Gonzo in recent months. NRX, EKS, and Yummy, in a way, occupied Gonzo's niche. But NRX went to shit. Yummy has entered a crisis and it seems, according to DAP-Addict, that they've disappeared in Brazil. And now EKS has a high chance of disappearing, at least from Pornbox. So Gonzo no longer has a replacement. And the pillar of Pornbox/Analvids/Legalporno has always been Gonzo. It didn't matter that GIO's scenes were among the top sellers (without often being the top sellers). But Gonzo gave this site regularity in terms of gangbangs "x on 1 with piss and dp/dap". And above all, gangbangs with naked women, which is what GIO almost never offered. Now only AGO and GIO remain, offering gangbangs with piss and a lot of dressed woman. Perhaps the wet dream of some users who never wanted to see naked women. But that will be the end of Pornbox, as there will be a mass users exodus if EKS leave, the last studio similar to Gonzo.

If there are no more new scenes with the content we want, what's the point of continuing to spend money on this platform? None, obviously.

In my opinion, the people behind Pornbox should seriously invest in a studio identical to Gonzo (with this content always: gangbangs x on 1, naked woman, piss, dp and dap). If they don't, with the fall of EKS, the whole thing could collapse. Gonzo was the mainstay, and EKS is a flimsy plastic barrier that, if removed, will cause the final collapse.. Maybe things will turn out well. But that's how I see it as a user who has been on this forum for over 10 years.

These last two months have been the worst for me since I signed up for my first subscription. There's practically nothing new that interests me on Pornbox anymore.

There's a ray of hope: I've just spotted a social media post of Jasminy Villar posting with a Russian import girl it seems for EKS São Paulo!

[PornoManiac]

Great news, I hope for cooperation between EKS and YUMMY studios and for the exchange of girls between the studios

The first sentence isn't objectively true. EKS scenes sell well, but they're far from top sellers. The top seller recently was Kathy Layne. Just gutted there aren't more scenes of her. She's fucking gorgeous.

Your second point is definitely true. I've bought 15 scenes in the last 3 years. It might be because I'm jaded and watch far less porn than I used to (probably half an hour a week), but I do feel the quality has dropped off dramatically. And it's not just on Legalporno/Pornbox, it's everywhere.

Couldnt ID that Russian girl yet, but for sure Akina Asmus is with her.
Now, something is in the bush.
But for sure they need also a place to release their new films - as well as those about 50 films the have in the box bot not released yet.

[dap-addict]

Add:
In another tread somebody suggested legal problems with the process of EKS ditching Pornbox. I'm not convinced its that easy explanation, but for sure nobody should forget, also Erika Korti not, that it was LP core studio GIO at those grim pandemic times which provided a fist kick-off cash flow for the than completely new studio.

BTW, on another note, I see that Yummy Estudio has been added to one of the fast growing tube sites that starts with F

Can you please post a pic on here?

[zeusanalfreak299]

For me, EKS, Yummy and Mambo are the only three studios with enjoyable content.

And now this political shit...

This site turned with every year more and more into a shit hole... like western Europe in general.
I hope the studios will have their own sites and strong fan communities soon, then we can close this chapter here forever.

Natasha Rios just turned up finally in EKS São Paulo studio.

Natasha Rios just turned up finally in EKS São Paulo studio.

EKS need to release something soon. It's nearly 6 weeks since the last released scene. They haven't released here or via their website. They promised an email over 1 month ago that hasn't materialised.

They're burning through whatever good will they had. It's nuts.

I think I gave them €30 as a tip when Erika sent an email to everyone asking for a bit of dosh and now I wonder why I bothered.

same here, i dont demand much just a little bit of communication what is going on trough mail they asked and it will be fine. right its why even bother anymore.

[chriskellas]

I chatted with that Darya girl who is with Akina and she confirmed they are filming over there and she might possibly be doing DAP!

Studios are changing locations due to availability of talent, and to reduce overall costs, and therefore try to break even or to increase profitability.

I don't understand what changing locations has to do with releasing a shit tonne of content they've already filmed or even sending the email they'd promised to. Sending an automated, mass email with news to subscribers is one of the easiest things you can do in the world. Even a chimp could do it.

No wonder they're struggling to break even when they're running a business like this so badly.

Any update from Erika ?

[dap-addict]

She's hanging out with local and Russian porn girls and studs in Brasil.
Logically they would shoot something.
However still no info where they will release those videos.

I have no idea why you'd film a shoot a shit tonne of content that costs thousands per scene without having a distribution model in place. It baffles me.

According to you, they've already filmed 50 scenes (some in Europe etc), but these scenes are sitting idly by doing nothing and making no money for them. Again, it's so bizarre.

Release them EKS! If there's a Kathy Layne DAP scene in existence, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[dap-addict]

I didnt claim that, I think somebody else mentioned the figure of about 50. Anyway, it seems to me also that they haven't released all scenes shot during turn of years 2024/5 and until February by EKS Bukarest.

Irrespective of who claimed it, I think the way they're operating their business is borderline commercial suicide.

ignoring loyal buyers, still shooting new movies and not selling? genious move for real.

It's nearly 8 weeks since they released any new content. They must be haemorrhaging tens of thousands of dollars doing this. It's fucking nuts.

The behavior of EKS reminds me of Epica Productions that imported a bunch of Russian girls to Serbia two years ago. A year ago, Epica Productions started to build their own website, but in the meantime these pages are offline again. Epica Productions had filmed anal scenes with models like Bella Grey or Eva Barbie and many other models. I hope these scenes have not been lost.

So far Epica Productions has not released a single scene from Serbia.

Since the epica.productions site no longer exists, I took a screenshot from web.archive.

[Christoph_Inerle1]

These should be the websites on which the models from the screenshot should be published. All pages have been offline for months now.
I know, for example, that Bella Grey and other models filmed in Serbia two years ago.

Anyway, if the models have been payed thats already good.
Just for their fans it's unbelievable bs ofc!

This sounds too good to be true. I would love to be proved otherwise, but as far as I know there was no media leak. Many actresses have x/insta accounts.

[feltrough]

That Epica production story is making me mad so many amazing russian girls i really like filmed ,there was even trailers for some scenes!! And it went bust such a shame for porn lovers. Only good thing is actress got paid

[dap-addict]

Back to EKS I tried to check what is official by them:

Sept 1st in Russian, which most users dont speak:

Hurray! We are launching our new YouTube project. Meet our beautiful model from Russia — her name will remain a secret for now. Exciting interviews and behind-the-scenes stories from the lives of actresses are coming soon. You will love it — I promise! Subscribe, hit that bell, and let us know in the comments what topics you want to see first. What questions should we ask our guests?

We are currently creating content, and will be launching soon. All information will be available on social media. There will be a lot of cool information.

Funny, Russian porn girl fans know Akina Asmus ofc, but we need her scenes released!

Sept 4th in Russian:

Summer has finally arrived in Brazil! These three months have been the coldest of my life, even though I used to live in Russia. But there is one ‘but’: Brazil does not have central heating, and the cold is felt everywhere — in the house, on the street, in every corner. But we waited: now we have nine months of warmth ahead of us, and this feeling of happiness overwhelms me. Hurray! Long live mornings and sunny walks at dawn!
I adore Brazilians for their philosophy of life. They know how to appreciate moments, stay calm and find joy in the little things. And you know, it's so inspiring!

There were posts on Inst.... from Bella Grey, Eva Barbie, Una Fairy, Freddy Gong, Felipe Costa, Ed Junior, and Vinny Burgos. That was in September 2023.

Do you have any information that Epica production have gone bust? I only said that the websites are offline again and have not been completed.
