 A glut of cheaply produced "T&A films" which offered sexual spectacle and copious nudity, but little else, began to saturate the market, watering down lucrative pre-sales deals with foreign distributors and causing budgets for erotic thrillers to shrink to nearly a third or less of what they were in the early 1990s.As budgets shrank, so did actor salaries, image quality, and shooting schedules.Family films became more important in the direct-to-video market, as retailers stocked more copies of blockbuster films instead of more titles.
