For several year the Largest Distributor of adult movies in the USA was...

...the Marriott Corporation.

Before in-home cable pay-per-view the only on-demand porn was in hotels and, given the outrageous prices charged to a captive audience, the dollar volume was quite large.

And Marriott was out front on the new technology and was one of the biggest beneficiaries. If I recall correctly, the Marriott corporation took in more revenue from adult movies than any other entity.

Marriott was, of course, one of the largest Mormon founded businesses (J. Willard Marriott... what's with the Willards?)

And on the board of directors, if I recall correctly, young Willard Romney (aka Mitt, aka R. Money, aka Mittens)
