"Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1" was released in theaters last August but disappointed at the box office and received mixed reviews from critics. On Friday, Costner premiered the second installment at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, but a wider theatrical release in the U.S. has not been announced.
After "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1" performed poorly at the box office, Costner defended the film and asserted that audiences would come to appreciate the saga over time.
