Kevin Costner took a huge gamble to bring Horizon: An American Saga to the big screen. The acclaimed actor left behind his iconic role as John Dutton in the hit TV series, Yellowstone, to shoot his epic Western movie, a project that cost a lot of time, money, and energy, with surprisingly little accompanying recognition. The first installment of the four-part franchise bombed financially, and received mixed reviews from critics. With a reported $100 million budget (combined with its sequel), Horizon – Chapter 1 drastically underperformed at the box office, bringing in just over $38 million in its theatrical run over the summer.
