Despite the low number, Costner says he’s not worried.
“I lived with the movies and what happens to them on opening weekend,” he says. Weekly entertainment. “If we put so much pressure on it, we will certainly be disappointed. I am very happy that Horizon looks like it’s supposed to look, and that’s how it’s going to look for the rest of its life. And that’s really important to me in this process.”
“Would I love it to be highly, highly successful? Of course, I would like that. My ego would like that; everyone would like that. But I’m more happy that the movie that you and I are talking about looks the way I want it to look,” he adds.
