That “Gotti” biopic with John Travolta you were planning to see next week? Lionsgate has sold the mafia movie back to the production company Emmett/Furla/Oasis, killing the film’s Dec. 15 domestic release, according to reports on Tuesday. The film, in which Travolta plays infamous Gambino crime boss John Gotti, also features Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, as Victoria Gotti. Deadline reported that the film’s producers wanted a wider release than what Lionsgate’s specialty arm Lionsgate Premiere planned, so they exercised a buy-back clause. Travolta later told the entertainment site that he had a hand in persuading the studio to return the movie.
