Horizon: An American Saga—Chapter 2 was originally supposed to debut weeks after Chapter 1
The whole freakin’ point of Kevin Costner ’s Horizon project is that it was a big theatrical event. From the jump, Costner announced his intent to make four movies, and invested more than $30 million of his own money to make it happen. New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. signed on to distribute for a fee with Costner covering marketing costs. In an attempt to match his boldness, WB announced it would release Horizon : An American Saga—Chapter 2 less than two months after the first film premiered.
He’s been saying since the film premiered at Cannes that movies are more than their opening weekend numbers. His bet, as the person who owns the complete rights to the movies, is that the series will have a long life outside of the theaters. Given that the third and fourth installments haven’t even been filmed yet, though, it’s still a really expensive bet. And according to THR, a lot of cinemas that offered audiences a chance to buy advance tickets for Chapter 2 now have to issue refunds.
