Kevin Costner reacts to ‘Horizon’ bombing at the box office, changes to sequel’s release
NY Post
Kevin Costner is proud of his film “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One” — regardless of how it performed in theaters.
The former “Yellowstone” star, 69, wrote, directed and starred in the first installment of his new Western film series, which flopped big-time at the box office upon its release in June.
The movie made made only $32 million on a $100 million budget. Costner reportedly spent $38 million of his own money on the film.
The Oscar winner talked about his passion project’s underwhelming performance in an interview with E! News published Saturday.
“I’ve faced life with people being dismissive of me, he said. “But they can’t be dismissive of ‘Horizon,’ because now it’s out of their hands.”
“And they might point to the finish line—well, this is what it did at the box office—but I know that this movie is going to play for the next 50 years,” Costner added.
