Before Horizon’s first chapter debuted, Costner said he wouldn’t fret over the numbers. He told Entertainment Weekly:
“I’ve lived with movies and what happens to them on their opening weekend. If we put so much pressure on that, we’re bound to be disappointed. I’m really happy that ‘Horizon’ looks like what it’s supposed to look like, and that’s the way it’ll look the rest of its life. And that’s really important to me in this process.”
Horizon‘s second chapter is still set to debut in theaters on August 16. There has been no news about release dates for the saga’s third and fourth installments.
