Kevin Costner’s ambitious Western epic just crashed the Netflix top 10 — and it’s perfect for ‘Yellowstone’ fans
Kevin Costner’s epic Western “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” might have been a box office disappointment, but it’s certainly popular on Netflix.
The movie grossed a little over $38 million, which is roughly the same amount that Costner himself put into the first two movies (which shot back to back), and nowhere near their reported $100 million budget.
That lackluster return got the sequel pulled from its planned August 2024 release, and it didn’t exactly land stellar reviews.
That said, the movie was recently added to Netflix, and in just a few days it’s become one of the most popular releases on the streaming service. Maybe the same people who missed John Dutton in “Yellowstone‘s” final episodes have tuned in to see what Costner’s cooked up?
At three hours long, it’s certainly a movie you need to invest time into. I’d wager there are plenty of would-be viewers out there trying to decide whether to add “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” to their watchlist. Here’s some more info that should help make that decision a little easier.
“Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” is, unsurprisingly, the first part of Kevin Costner’s sprawling Western project.
As with countless other Western epics, the planned four-movie saga would revisit the tale of the Old West, spanning decades both before and after the Civil War. Chapter 1 establishes our vast ensemble cast and their overlapping stories, laying the groundwork for future, yet-to-come installments.
