Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon’ Triggers Legal Battle After Box Office Flop
Kevin Costner’s ambitious Western epic Horizon: An American Saga has sparked a major legal battle following its poor box office showing. Costner personally invested over $50 million into the film, but Chapter 1 earned just $38.7 million worldwide.
City National Bank is now pursuing arbitration against Costner’s production company and New Line Cinema, citing unpaid debts. New Line responded with a crossclaim, blaming Costner’s team for financial shortfalls.
Despite the setbacks, Costner is pushing ahead with the four-part series, hoping future chapters find success through streaming. However, the project’s future hinges on resolving legal and financial issues.
