Kevin Costner’s epic western HORIZON could very well explode at the box office

As a fan of Westerns, I’m thrilled with this Kevin Costnerthe next movie Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1. This is the first of four films that Costner is trying to make.

Chapter 2 is already finished and Chapter 3 is currently in production. But it looks like the first movie is going to be a box office hit, and I hate it.

According to box office theory, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 is currently projecting an opening weekend of between $11 million and $18 million. THR also reports that the film will gross around $12 million.

The first film had a budget of $100 million, and Costner financed the project independently and even invested $38 million of his own money to make sure the film got made.

This is a Costner passion project and I would love to see a Western succeed at the box office. If the film turns out well, I hope the audience and fans will unite to make it a success.

The film will open with A Quiet Place: Day One, which doesn’t help matters. Even if I don’t rush to see the horror film, many other moviegoers will and that film will win the box office with around $40 million in its opening weekend.

Horizon’s other weakness is that it’s a very American-centric western, which means it will have limited potential to make much money overseas.

Westerns are one of my favorite film genres, and I would be sad if this sweeping frontier epic actually ended up bombing at the box office. I hope these reports are wrong.

Horizon: An American Saga chronicles “a multifaceted 15-year arc of expansion and settlement of the American West before and after the Civil War.

“Experienced through the eyes of many, the epic journey is filled with danger and intrigue, from the constant assault of the natural elements to interactions with the indigenous people who lived on the land and the determination and, in many cases, ruthlessness of those who sought to settle It.”

Costner went on to talk about the audience’s experience with this film, saying, “Can they, in a way, feel like themselves in this film? Because that’s what I want people to feel in the dark [it] suddenly he absorbs them.

“We all know what happens when the lights go out: something good, something mediocre, or something great. What I hope is that this is something that stays with them forever.”

Costner had already spoken about the story saying: “It’s a really beautiful story; it’s a difficult story. It really involves a lot of women, to be honest. There are a lot of men too, but the women are really strong in Horizon.

“It’s just them trying to survive every day in a world that was incredibly harsh. They often were [dragged] in these places because that is where men wanted to go; women followed their men.

“They didn’t ask to be in these unstable and dangerous territories, and life wasn’t easy. I chose to make sure it was really obvious, that it wasn’t easy and how vulnerable people were.

The film also has a great cast that includes Siena Miller, Sam Worthington, Jamie Campbell Bower, Luke Wilson, Thomas Haden Church, Jena Malone, Michael Rocker, Alessandro Edda, Will Patton,AND Tatanka means.

The first two films will have a double theatrical release. The first film will be released on June 28, 2024, while the second will debut a couple of months later on August 16, 2024.
