Will Horizon’s Early VOD Release Help Chapter 2?
Chapter 2 Will Need A Miracle To Be A Theatrical Success
Horizon: An American Saga’s reviewshave been mixed from critics, with the film’s long runtime and somewhat unfocused storyline coming under fire. The response has been generally more positive from audiences, but it’s not been enough to make the film a financial success. Reports of the film’s budget have varied, with some pegging it at $100 million while others claim that this sum was actually split across the first two movies. Either way,Horizonhas been struggling at the box office and has thus far made $22 million worldwide.
Costner plans to make fourHorizonmovies in total, with production on the third now underway.
Movies in the Western genre have long struggled to get audiences to theaters, andHorizonhas been no different. There is virtually no interest in the film from international audiences, meaning Costner’s Western will have to make almost all of its money domestically. The more positive audience response could, however, suggest thatHorizonwill become a hit on VOD.

Kevin Costner has been working on his film Horizon: An American Saga for several years, but who are the main plays in the upcoming Western?
In theory, a strong showing on VOD could entice more viewers to actually go to the theater to watchHorizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2in August, with the first film essentially serving as an elongated trailer. Even this, however, seems unlikely given thataudience scores on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Metacritic have been somewhat lukewarm. IfHorizon: An American Sagais a hit on VOD, the most likely outcome is thatChapter 2also becomes a hit on VOD after what is shaping up to be a disappointing theatrical run.
