Maybe Kevin Costner should have released “Horizon 2” before first installment.
That’s because sequels are booming at the box office.
Today, “Despicable Me 4,” which opened on Wednesday, will hit $100 million. Not bad for the Minions! At least we didn’t have to call a minyan.
In the last two days, “Inside Out 2,” another sequel, hit $514 million. Total weekend should bring it to $535 million. And Anxiety is the lead character.
“Horizon” is still dead, crawling to $19 mil today. I really think if New Line Cinema just said, this is the sequel, no one would have been the wiser. Alas, the main character in “Horizon” is, coincidentally, Anxiety, among its bookkeepers, bankers, and accountants!
