Kevin Costner’s Horizon Is Finally Getting the Attention It Deserves

Kevin Costner invested a significant amount of his personal funds to realize his vision of a Western epic on the big screen, but unfortunately, it received poor reception in cinemas. The initial part of Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga, which premiered during the summer, only managed to gross $38 million globally. This disappointing performance raised concerns about the continuation of a planned four-movie series, as the second film had already been completed.

It appears that the future of the Horizon series has been uncertain following the removal of its release date from Warner Bros.’ calendar after Chapter 2 was launched. However, several months later, it seems to be gaining a broader audience through streaming platforms. This growth might aid in establishing a stronger foundation for the success of its sequel.

At the beginning of this year, “Horizon” made its debut on Netflix along with several significant films from Warner Bros. In mere days, it’s climbed the Netflix movie rankings, solidifying its position as the second most popular film on the platform.

On Sunday, the Netflix Top 10 Movies list had Horizon closely following In the Heart of the Sea, indicating a growing interest among viewers for the film. For a complete look at the Netflix movie rankings from Sunday, check out the details below!
