Pornhub Doc 'Money Shot' is 4th Most Watched Netflix Movie Worldwide

LOS ANGELES — Netflix has released viewership numbers for its documentary “Money Shot: The Pornhub Story,” revealing that it has been streamed for over 13 million hours, making it the network’s fourth most watched film worldwide in its debut week.

Directed by Suzanne Hillinger, “Money Shot” offers a complex take on the Pornhub phenomenon through interviews with performers, activists, former employees and anti-porn crusaders.

In the documentary, performers Siri Dahl, Gwen Adora, Cherie DeVille, Wolf Hudson, Natassia Dreams, Asa Akira and several others, along with FSC’s Director of Public Affairs Mike Stabile, help Hillinger explore the history of MindGeek and Pornhub, controversies and all, through a refreshingly non-stigmatizing, sex work-positive lens.

“Money Shot” debuted on Netflix on March 15 and is currently airing in over 65 countries. It has hit the top ten in all the countries.

“I’m quite happy with how the documentary turned out,” Siri Dahl told XBIZ. “Performers’ voices are centered in a way they never have been before in a documentary about our industry. The fact that it’s holding strong in Netflix’s top ten is amazing.”

Dahl added that the feedback she is seeing from non-industry people online is overwhelmingly positive.

“I’ve had people from my personal life, who I haven’t seen or thought about in years, texting me to say my face popped up on their Netflix app, so they watched it and learned a lot about porn from it,” she explained.

“So many people are having conversations about sex work and porn that they never would have had without this film,” Dahl concluded.
