Kevin Costner Proud of 'Horizon'

Kevin Costner expressed pride in his latest film, "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1," despite its underwhelming box office performance, which saw it earn only $23 million in its first two weeks. The 69-year-old actor and director remains confident that the film will have lasting appeal, stating, "I know that this movie is going to play for the next 50 years." Costner acknowledged that he is accustomed to skepticism regarding his work but believes in the saga's potential longevity. In response to the film's initial reception, Territory Pictures and New Line Cinema have decided to postpone the release of the sequel, "Horizon 2." This decision aims to allow audiences more time to discover the first installment, which will also be available on PVOD and Max in the coming weeks. The studio expressed gratitude for the audience's enthusiasm and support, emphasizing their commitment to the saga and the positive feedback from both film fans and theater owners. Costner also addressed rumors regarding his financial investment in the film, clarifying that claims of him putting $20 million of his own money into the project are inaccurate. The actor's dedication to the "Horizon" saga remains steadfast, as he continues to promote the film and its future installments. Overall, while the box office results may not have met expectations, Costner and the production team are hopeful that "Horizon" will find its audience and thrive in the long run.
