The Big Picture Kevin Costner's next big Western won't be wrangling up seats at the box office after all, at least not for the foreseeable future. Costner's Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 has been pulled from its upcoming theatrical release calendar and will not bow in theaters on Aug. 16 after all, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This decision comes after the first chapter in the franchise, released this past June, significantly underperformed at the box office.
"The audience response to Horizon, and enthusiasm for seeing our story continue in Horizon 2, has been incredibly gratifying. Kevin made this film for people who love movies and who wanted to go on a journey. The support that we have received from film fans, and the theater owners, as they experience the first chapter of this saga only serves to reinforce our belief in them and the films that we have made, and we thank them for coming on board for the ride.
It is unclear where the franchise will go from here, as Costner has poured millions of his own dollars into funding the four-part saga, and work on the third installment was already underway as of earlier this year. No release window for Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 has been revealed, though Warner Bros. and New Line notably have not acquired the distribution rights for these installments.
