Directed by Kevin Connolly and starring John Travolta as the
infamous Gambino crime family boss, John Gotti, MoviePass Ventures’
struck its co-financing and co-marketing deal for ‘Gotti’ last
month. ‘Gotti’ was produced by Emmett Furla Oasis Films and is
MoviePass Ventures’ second acquisition co-financing and marketing
deal following American Animals at Sundance earlier this year.
“We are moving quickly to get ‘Gotti’ into theaters. The buzz
has been phenomenal and audiences have waited so patiently for its
release,” said MoviePass CEO Mitch Lowe. “It is a remarkable biopic
with incredible performances and we are very much looking forward
to bringing the power of film to the big screen and to our more
than two million subscribers.”
MoviePass Ventures’ acquisition co-financing and marketing deals
for ‘American Animals’ and ‘Gotti’ demonstrate its power to bring
both independent and major release films to debut on the big
screen. Moreover, MoviePass Ventures believes its platform, coupled
with the marketing capabilities of MoviePass™, will enable
independent film makers to reach audiences that until now have been
largely difficult for them to access. MoviePass Ventures is
planning private screenings in the U.S. exclusively for MoviePass
subscribers, in addition to the films’ wider releases.

and an incredible honor,” said Ted Farnsworth, Chairman and CEO of
Helios. “We are able to bring this highly-anticipated film into
theaters across America, letting our MoviePass subscribers deliver
the attendance and attention the film deserves.”
