This drama chronicles not only the bloody rise of Gotti, also known as the The real reasons Gotti has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes By Sarah Szabo / June 21, 2018 12:47 pm EDT There's nothing like a high-profile cinematic disaster to … When reached for comment, Rotten Tomatoes told Mashable “all of the ratings and reviews were left by real users.”,Rotten Tomatoes’ statement rules out bots as the cause of “Gotti’s” high fan score, but it still leaves open the possibility of the “Gotti” team creating real accounts and posting positive user scores. What we do have is a very passionate audience in the markets where we promoted. “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.Murell pointed to an indie like the Jon Hamm-starring “Beirut” as the kind of movie “Gotti” should be emulating on Rotten Tomatoes, which debuted in under 1,000 theaters and opened to $1.7 million.

Since the release of John Travolta's biopic Gottion June 15th, the film has been the subject of the kind of Rotten Tomatoes controversy usually reservedfor Disney and DC films. He’s right – the rating is very high.
