Kevin Costner �Horizon� Bomb Fallout: 2nd Movie Pulled From Theaters

The initial $100 million film earned the moniker �box office disaster�
after it earned only $22.6 million over two weeks and studios are making
moves to presumably mitigate losses.

The second installment of Kevin Costner�s film series Horizon will no
longer be hitting theaters in August as originally planned, The Hollywood
Reporter reported Wednesday.

Following the dismal performance of the first film, which made only $22.6
million its first two weekends at the box office, and after Costner
reportedly put $38 million of his own money into the film and mortgaged his
own property to do so, the second film will go straight to VOD on July 16
in addition to a theatrical release which has not yet been announced,
according to the site.

Costner has repeatedly expressed how the movie series was a personal
passion of his, and cited the undertaking of making the films, which he
directed and star in, as a reason he quit the popular drama series
Yellowstone.

Horizon, the first of four films, was also panned critically in addition to
its meager box office performance. The New Yorker reported that Horizon
�goes west but gets nowhere,� while The New York Post asked in the headline
of its critique, �Kevin Costner Quit Yellowstone For This?!� Entertainment
Weekly pointed out the film�s three hour runtime while calling part of the
movie �dull as dirt.�

And The Daily Beast�s Obsessed�s critic Nick Schager said the film is �so
expansive and incomplete that it resembles a modern television series
awkwardly edited into feature form.�

Costner has reportedly been undaunted by the negative reception and still
plans to move forward with the next three films and resume filming the
third in August. A statement from his production company as sent to THR
reads in part, �The audience response to Horizon and enthusiasm for seeing
our story continue in Horizon 2 has been incredibly gratifying.�

But the studios have clearly taken notice of the film�s lackluster
reception, as they delay the theatrical release of the next film to give
audiences a �greater opportunity to discover the first installment of
Horizon over the coming weeks,� according to a New Line spokesperson in a
statement to the site.

Theatergoers who had purchased advanced tickets to Horizon 2 will have
their tickets refunded due to the last minute change.
