Kevin Costner’s Horizon 2 Confirms New Premiere After Cancelling Original August Release Plan

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Summary Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 will debut at the Venice Film Festival on September 7 after the movie was pulled from its initial August 16 theatrical release date.

Chapter 1 performed poorly at the box office, leading to Chapter 2 getting pulled from its release date. It's unclear for now when a theatrical release will arrive.

Kevin Costner's Western epic Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 has confirmed a new premiere date after the sequel's original August release plans were canceled. Horizon Chapter 2's release was originally set for August 16, 2024, before the poor performance of Chapter 1 at the box office led to it being pulled from its initial release date. The initial installment in the planned four-part saga has earned only $33.2 million at the box office against a $50 million budget, making it a financial flop.

Now, La Biennale di Venezia has confirmed that Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 will make its debut at the 81st Venice Film Festival on September 7, following the film getting pulled from its initial August release. The announcement was accompanied by a statement from Costner, grateful for the opportunity to screen the movie, hoping it's able to showcase the vision he has for the Western story overall. Check out what Costner had to say below:

My dream was always to show Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter Two at the Venice Film Festival. The fact that now they have decided to show Chapter One earlier in the day and then the World Premiere of Chapter Two that evening shows not only their belief in how the two films work together but their support of a director’s vision. I’m indebted to Alberto Barbera for his courage and leadership in committing to this cinematic journey. It is with gratitude and excitement that I return to the Venice Film Festival. Long live the movies and those willing to stand for them.

More to come...
