Kevin Costner's 'Horizon' Western Went Belly Up In Theaters, But It Seems To Be Doing Just What The Filmmaker Wanted On Streaming

The Western saga "Horizon" has been a passion project for Kevin Costner since 1988. You can tell from the massive scale shown in the trailer that the Yellowstone actor poured everything into his epic Western. While "Horizon: Chapter One" sadly went belly up in box office numbers and reviews, Costner’s movie seems to be finding the success the filmmaker wanted on streaming. The "Horizon" saga didn’t exactly leave a good first impression when it debuted in theaters on June 28th. It received a poor opening weekend of $11 million, a 51% drop of $5.4 million the next weekend, and then finished in seventh on its third weekend with $2.4 million. It didn’t help that critics weighed in with mixed "Horizon" reviews, loving the grand scale of the Old West, but feeling it lacked a cohesive narrative.
