How many copies are printed/distributed for a launch issue of a magazine?

I'm doing some research into the printing/distribution side of magazines. Just wondering roughly how many copies would usually be printed of a new magazine to launch it? Or does anyone have knowledge of past magazine launches they could share with me?

Thanks

    I believe it is about 328,000.

    Source(s): At its peak in 2000, Maxim sold 328,000 copies a month, making it third in the men's magazine market behind Loaded and FHM. Maxim's circulation has been in a tailspin for several years, falling a massive 41.4% year on year in the second half of 2008 to just 45,951. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/apr/02/maxim-...
