A box office disaster looms.
Kevin Costner’s “Horizon” is on its way to an embarrassing opening weekend.
The numbers are looking like just $10 million for the whole four days beginning today.
Today’s previews particularly are disappointing, with few very advanced ticket sales. But today and tonight, competition is stiff. The Presidential debate is going to be number 1 on most people’s lists. In theaters, “A Quiet Place Day One” is fairly sold out. At home on TV, “The Bear” is what everyone wants to see.
This all leaves “Horizon” without much standing. The movie cost around $50 million and is the first of four parts. It’s three hours long, and Costner doesn’t appear in the first hour. Rotten Tomatoes has it ‘rotten’ at 42%, down from 47% earlier.
To be continued, that is if “Horizon” Box office numbers are released tomorrow. Suggested headline: “Lost Horizon.”
