IMDbrief: How John Travolta's Passion Project Failed to Find an Audience

Devised as John Travolta's awards contender, 'Gotti' opened in 11th place this weekend, 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 which has grossed $1 billion. All things being equal, the film was only offered in 503 U.S. theaters compared to the three to four thousand that most wide releases receive.
