How John Travolta's Passion Project Failed to Find an Audience
Devised as John Travolta's awards contender, 'Gotti' opened in 11th place the weekend of June 16, while Pixar broke records with 'Incredibles 2,' which grossed over $182 million. Though 'Gotti' had a tiny $10 million budget, its $1.7 million opening is among the lowest in Travolta's 40-year film career, in which he has grossed $1 billion. All things being equal, the film was only offered in 503 U.S. theaters compared to the 3,000 to 4,000 that most wide releases receive.
