New Line Cinema has decided to delay the release of 'Horizon: Chapter 2' in theaters to give audiences more time to discover the first installment of the Western epic. The decision comes after the first chapter failed to meet expectations at the box office, prompting the studio to pivot its release strategy. The film, a passion project for Kevin Costner, has faced financial challenges due to its high production costs. Costner, who directed, co-wrote, and stars in the films, has invested his own money into the project and has already begun filming a third installment. Despite the setback, Costner remains committed to bringing his vision to the screen, acknowledging that the ultimate destination for the 'Horizon' series may be on television. The move underscores the challenges of bringing ambitious projects to fruition in the film industry.
