Marketing for John Travolta’s “Gotti” went viral this week with an online advertisement that bashed critics as “trolls behind the keyboard” after the film earned a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. The advertisement claimed “audiences love” the movie — but the number of fan reviews now flooding Rotten Tomatoes suggest “Gotti” has been seen as widely as “Incredibles 2.” And that seems a little, well, suspicious.
“Gotti” currently has a fresh 68% user score, and at this writing, has 7,068 user reviews; “Incredibles 2” has 7,865. “Gotti” opened in roughly 500 theaters and opened to $1.7 million while “Incredibles 2” played in over 4,000 theaters and had a record-breaking $182 million debut.
At an average ticket price of $9.16, that means of the 187,762 people who watched “Gotti” this weekend, 3.76 percent of them reviewed the film on Rotten Tomatoes. For “Incredibles 2,” which had an audience of 19,944,094, its Rt reviewer participation stands at less than .04 percent.

A box office bomb and a critical punching bag, John Travolta’s passion project “Gotti” is bound to go down as one of the worst films of 2018. The gangster drama is the rare film to earn a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes through 25 reviews, which means critics have been far from kind to it. IndieWire’s David Ehrlich called the movie “amateurish” in his D review, but distributors Vertical Enterainment and MoviePass Ventures aren’t going down without a fight.
On the heels of the movie underperforming at the box office, “Gotti’s” marketing campaign release a new online advertisement calling the critics who hated the movie “trolls behind the keyboard.” The advertisement reads: “Audiences loved it. Critics put out the hit. Who would you trust more? Yourself or a troll behind the keyboard?”
Dennis Rice, who spearheaded the marketing for ‘Gotti,’ told Deadline the film performed well in New York, Los Angeles,...

We’re hearing this morning that MoviePass accounted for 40% of the $1.67M opening ($668K) to John Travolta mob pic Gotti, which took headlines over the weekend for its 0% Rotten Tomatoes score from 23 critics.
During CinemaCon, the monthly movie ticket service took a low-seven figure stake in the reported $10M budgeted feature which has willed itself to existence over the last seven years, and ultimately acquired the pic’s production company, Emmett Furla Oasis Films. MoviePass accounted for roughly 25%-35% of the opening four-theater $135K weekend of The Orchard’s American Animals, which they also took a piece of out of Sundance. Many in the industry are already writing MoviePass’ obituary, yet anecdotally we hear from non-MoviePass sources that the subscription service is driving midweek business at local La indie theaters with the under 25 demo and summer vacation in effect. How long will this ride last? The stock price for MoviePass...
