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

The second part of Kevin Costner's big-budget Horizon saga has been pulled from its August release date after the first film underperformed.

The first film premiered at the Cannes film festival in May to negative reviews, scoring a 48% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw called it a handsome-looking but oddly listless" western.
