In a surprising twist, *Horizon*, a film many had high hopes for, turned out to be one of the biggest flops of 2024. Kevin Costner fans, who eagerly anticipated its success, were shocked as the movie failed to make an impact. Despite its debut in theaters on June 28th, *Horizon* only made $1 million in its opening weekend and was quickly pulled from most theaters. With only 182 screens showing the film by the end of its run, it didn’t even make it to the top 22 box office rankings.
However, there’s good news for those who missed out. *Horizon* will soon be available for streaming on Max starting August 23rd. While a Max subscription is required, there are also options for digital streaming through premium video-on-demand services. This move comes as a relief to many fans, but it highlights the competitiveness of today’s cinema landscape, where even a film led by Kevin Costner can struggle to find its footing.
Financially, *Horizon* was a major disappointment, with worldwide earnings of only $31.4 million against a budget that may have reached $100 million. Costner himself invested heavily in the project, but the poor performance has cast doubt on the future of the series. Though the release of the second installment has been delayed, Costner remains committed, even scheduling a debut at the Venice Film Festival.
Despite the setbacks, there’s still hope. Talks of a potential series with platforms like Amazon or Netflix could offer a new lifeline, but for now, *Horizon* fans will have to wait and see what the future holds.
