Costner's Territory Pictures and New Line Cinema made the decision after the first 'Horizon' bit the dust at the box office, with the move made to give audiences time to discover the first movie before the sequel.
I couldn’t think of any either but it seems we both missed a few popular ones that are newer -
The Hateful Eight (2015)
The Revenant (2015)
Wind River (2017)
And most significantly…
Killers of The Flower Moon (2023)
I haven’t seen them all and whether they are traditional westerns is up for debate, but those are the names I recognized from the Wikipedia pages.
That said, I totally agree with you and am not trying to diminish your point! There’s only been like 4 big westerns since 2012 and I don’t think any of them have the white hero character that OC is talking about.

Pretty sure Flower Moon was a flop.
