By March, the new June 15 release date was announced, and a month later it was revealed that Vertical Entertainment was the new distributor.
Gotti subsequently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, but judging by the reviews that have come in so far, I doubt it will become a fondly-remembered theatrical tale as the years pass.
First announced back in 2010, Gotti finally started moving forward in 2015, and a year later, the rest of the movie’s supporting cast was announced, which includes Kelly Preston, Stacy Keach, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Spencer Lofranco, William DeMeo and Leo Rossi.
Originally Gotti was supposed to be released direct-to-VOD on December 15 of last year, the same day that Star Wars: The Last Jedi dropped, but 10 days before that date, Lionsgate not only pulled its release, but also sold the movie back to its producers, as they wanted it to have a wide-theatrical release.
