Kevin Costner’s Horizon sequel pulled from release after first film flops

Star’s big-budget western sequel taken off release schedule after first has struggled to pass $25m mark at the box office

Both films, which focus on the exploration of the American west, carry a reported $100m price tag combined and after the first opened to just $11m last month, it has made less then $25m worldwide. The August release of the second film has now been postponed “in order to give audiences a greater opportunity to discover the first installment” according to a statement given to the Hollywood Reporter.
