You can watch two of Kevin Costner's signature Westerns for free on Tubi. Open Range and Dances with Wolves offer authentic and remarkable cowboy tales, showcasing Costner's talent as an actor and director. Amidst the disappointment of Horizon: An American Saga, Costner's legacy in the Western genre continues to shine through in these classic films.

Kevin Costner's best Westerns are available to stream today, and the best thing about this, is that you can watch them for free. Open Range and Dances With Wolves have been added to Tubi's impressive catalog of movies. The streaming service is known for its capacity to host obscure and mainstream hits on a single user-friendly platform that you don't have to pay a single cent to watch.

Both films starring Costner (and also directed by him) were added to the roster of films that usually land in Tubi's catalog on a monthly basis.

Kevin Costner appeared in one of his most controversial roles as New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison in JFK. The film came from Oliver Stone who was having a pretty great repertoire in the ’80s and ’90s. Despite the success of the film, the controversy surrounding the film gave Stone the image of a conspiracy theorist.

While he has no regrets about his film, he expressed 25 years later that he wished the talk around the film had died down soon. The film received critical acclaim and Costner’s performance in the film was praised by many. JFK went on to win the Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing.

Yellowstone returns later this year for its final episodes. However, fans know that these final episodes will be very different from what came before. This is because Kevin Costner has left the show. His character is still an important part of the show, and it will have to explain his disappearance as the final episodes start to air.

Here is what we know about the final episodes of Yellowstone.

What Happened In The Last Yellowstone Episodes

Before heading into the final Yellowstone episodes, it is important to remember what happened in the last episodes to air before the long break. Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) went to battle against his dad, John Dutton (Costner), and sister, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly). This started a civil war within the family.

The big question was whether Jamie might kill Beth or whether John would kill Jamie.

Westerns have stood out as some of the best pieces of cinema since the dawn of Hollywood, thanks to titans like John Wayne, John Ford, Howard Hawks, and Clint Eastwood. With a full century of such movies to choose from, there are plenty of fantastic, epic stories that explore the Old West. Recently, Kevin Costner's Horizon joined a long lineage of Westerns, bringing back the epic scale, revisionist nature, and strong acting that made the genre as respected as it is.

Horizon: An American Saga is far from the only epic Western that explores the settlement of the Old West, though it does a good job of covering an unprecedented range of the setting. Thanks to that range, people who enjoyed Costner's movie have a treasure trove of other Westerns to choose from, from movies dedicated to gunslinger action to social commentary. The genre is one of the richest in Hollywood,...

Michelle Pfeiffer has officially joined Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone spin-off Madison. More on the show below.

Kevin Costner might have left Yellowstone, but the franchise is only getting started. Creator Taylor Sheridan is currently working on a spin-off series, titled Madison, and Michelle Pfeiffer has joined the project as the series’ lead, as reported by Deadline.

The series has been in the works for a while now and previously went by the title 2024. Kurt Russell and Patrick J. Adams are also rumoured to be involved, but Pfeiffer is the first cast member to be officially announced.

“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who imbues every role with emotional depth, authenticity and grace,” Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios, said of Pfeiffer’s casting. “She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the Yellowstone universe, Madison, from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.

It’s official. Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2 – as they’re calling it, instead of considering it Season 6 – has started filming, with Paramount Networks making the announcement via a press release sent out in May. While the final cast list wasn’t announced, it has since been revealed that the show will begin airing its final episodes on Sunday, November 10th at 8 pm Et/Pt.

Will Kevin Costner be back?

Kevin Costner has taken to his social media to confirm that although he recently stated that he loves doing Yellowstone and would be open to returning “under the right circumstances,” he will, in fact, Not be returning to the Paramount+ show in the upcoming season. Deadline reports that Costner took it upon himself to post a video to his Instagram where he addressed the fans directly. His video post sported the caption, “An update for you guys. I’ll see you at the movies.

When we think of open-world games, few survive the test of time when it comes to relevance. FromSoftware’s Elden Ring isn’t just an open-world adventure. It’s filled with mysteries that are yet to be solved, and challenges that may ask you to meditate on your anger issues.

Fortunately, the game has ample items for players that can soothe this journey, making the experience much more fulfilling. However, there’s always the possibility of adding some flair to it. Here’s a list of five items found in other games that would be a great addition to FromSoft’s deftly crafted universe.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is on top of the wishlist of the gaming community and the wait is worth it. The original game was a masterpiece and was one of the most realistic-looking video games ever made and it is only prudent that expectations for the sequel are through the roof.

Guerrilla Games extended a helping hand to director Hideo Kojima and granted him access to the Decima engine. Projects that used this game engine looked stellar and with the extra horsepower packed into the PlayStation 5, the sequel could be the best the shiniest game ever made.

Hollywood must reconsider two-part movies after Horizon & Rebel Moon's disappointments in 2024. While two-part movies can be profitable, they are risky and may not always connect with audiences instantly. Successful two-part films like Avengers: Endgame and Harry Potter Deathly Hallows show that this format only works for certain franchises.

After 2023's strong calendar of movies, 2024 has continued this positive momentum, but two of the year's biggest disappointments share a common trend that Hollywood must abandon. Inside Out 2's box office records saw it become the highest-grossing animated film of all time, while Deadpool & Wolverine made $550 million in less than a week, proving 2024 has had some massive hits. With plenty of huge titles still to come, Hollywood may have another great year of theatrical releases on its hands, but there have still been some big disappointments that the movie industry must learn from.

While the year's major successes have been nothing short of remarkable,...

Horizon 2 will premiere at the Venice Film Festival, generating anticipation and hope for Costner's Western franchise. Despite Chapter 1's box office struggles, VOD success offers redemption and a promising outlook for the future. Costner's ambition and dedication to his Horizon franchise deserve a theatrical release and a fair chance to succeed.

Kevin Costner's Western epic Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 has been given a new premiere date at the upcoming 81st Venice Film Festival on September 7, 2024. Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 was pulled from its initial theatrical release date of August 16, 2024, following the underwhelming box office performance of Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1, which was released on June 28, 2024. The very first installment in the planned 4-part Western franchise only generated $33.2 million at the worldwide box office against a $50 million production budget, making it one of 2024's biggest flops.

Despite the disappointing box...

A historical cowboy expert says Kevin Costner's Western drama of 2003, Open Range, is one of the best cowboy movies ever made. While no one ever denied it was a great execution of the genre with visible mastery in its set pieces, Old West historian and cowboy culture authority, Michael Grauer, has praised Open Range above other Western movies because of its fine attention to detail and historical accuracy.

Open Range was Costner's gamble on the Western genre during the 2000s. After the lackluster response to The Postman, a film he directed and starred in and which was panned by critics, Costner decided to take some time out, staying away from the director's chair. However, because of his passion for Westerns, he said yes to the big-screen adaptation of The Open Range Men by Lauran Paine. Produced by Touchstone Pictures, the film was a hit with audiences and critics, who...

Yellowstone will be coming to an epic conclusion with its upcoming final season, but the franchise will continue with a new spinoff that is attracting some big names. It has previously been rumoured that Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell have been in talks to star in the new series, and TVLine reports that Patrick J. Adams (Suits) is in talks to join them.

A Paramount Network representative declined to comment on the report, but the outlet states that the deals for Pfeiffer, Russell, and Adams are close to being finalized. They also added a few potential plot details for the spinoff. Once known as 2024, the Yellowstone spinoff is now “tentatively” titled The Madison and is “rumoured to follow wealthy matriarch Stacy Clyburn and her family as they leave New York City and head to Montana in the wake of her husband and brother-in-law’s tragic deaths in a plane crash.

Taylor Sheridan is setting up his next Yellowstone spin-off, and looks to be bringing in more big star names to his popular franchise. The spin-off series previously entitled 2024 has seemingly switched its name to The Madison, and is reportedly eyeing Kurt Russell, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Suits star Patrick J Adams to lead the show.

According to TVLine, the latest iteration of Yellowstone, which is set in the present day, focuses Stacy Clyburn, the wealthy matriarch of a family who heads to Montana from New York City following the death of her husband and brother-in-law in a plane crash. While there is little more known about the series, a filming date seems to be just around the corner.

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 will debut at the Venice Film Festival on September 7 after the movie was pulled from its initial August 16 theatrical release date. Chapter 1 performed poorly at the box office, leading to Chapter 2 getting pulled from its release date. It's unclear for now when a theatrical release will arrive. While Chapter 2's film festival performance could determine it's future, a VOD or streaming release doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.

Kevin Costner's Western epic Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 has confirmed a new premiere date after the sequel's original August release plans were canceled. Horizon Chapter 2's release was originally set for August 16, 2024, before the poor performance of Chapter 1 at the box office led to it being pulled from its initial release date. The initial installment in the planned four-part saga has earned only $33.2 million at the box office against a $50 million budget,...

Have you ever witnessed the roller coaster journey of a big-screen legend, marked by an illustrious rise? Look no further than the enchanting odyssey of Kevin Costner. From dancing with wolves at the zenith of his career to weathering the storm of films that missed the mark, the actor’s narrative is anything but dull.

Certainly, not every actor can claim to have been the king of the box office hill—a title Costner wore like a crown during the early ‘90s. That being said, the actor, 69, seized the reins of success with the hit series Yellowstone. This wasn’t just a stroke of luck; it was a testament to his enduring clout, paving the way for him to helm his four-part magnum opus, Horizon: An American Saga.

Kevin Costner took on the role of real-life attorney Jim Garrison in Oliver Stone’s JFK. Like other movies from Stone, this film also raised several questions about the political landscape of the country at the time, making it a controversial project. Costner’s Western roles, be it Dances with Wolves, Yellowstone, or Horizon, weren’t nearly as sharp or controversial as JFK.

However, the film received critical praise for Costner’s performance, direction, editing, and cinematography. The film even won the Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing. Costner initially turned down the project but was convinced by his agent who was a big fan of Stone.

The second installment of actor-turned-director Kevin Costners Horizon: An American Saga will premiere at the 81st Venice Film Festival. Following the disappointing performance of Horizon: An American Saga Chapter One at the box office, the second part of Costner's American western epic was pulled from its mid-August theatrical debut.

While things aren't going to plan, this may be a pleasant surprise for Costner, who said in a statement that it was always his "dream" for the film to play at Venice. The first part was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Chapter One may have only earned $23 million in its first two weeks in theaters, but its producer, New Line Cinema have said they hope that the delay in releasing Chapter Two will allow viewers to catch up on the first installment. According to ABC News, Chapter Two will play at the Venice Film Festival on September...

The second chapter of Kevin Costner's self-funded Western epic, Horizon: An American Saga, will receive similar film festival treatment as the first installment, despite the franchise's financial woes. Chapter One premiered at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, where it was met with a seven-minute standing ovation. However, faith in the franchise's longevity faltered due to underwhelming box-office returns and lackluster reviews. As a result, Chapter Two (which was scheduled to hit theaters later this year), has been shelved indefinitely, while Chapter One has found a second life on VOD.

While audiences wonder whether Chapter Two will hit cinemas anytime soon, the organizers of the Venice Film Festival have faith in the franchise. Per Variety, Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter Two will have its world premiere at this year's festival. Not only will those in attendance be the first to watch the next installment, but Venice...

“Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two,” the sequel to Kevin Costner’s epic Western that stumbled at the U.S. box office, will world-premiere at the Venice Film Festival this fall after its stateside theatrical release was cancelled.

Initially set for an Aug. 16 wide release, the second installment will premiere out of competition on Sept. 7. With a budget north of $100 million, the first chapter of “Horizon: American Saga” earned only $11 million on its opening weekend earlier this year.

The first film, co-written and directed by Costner and also starring Sam Worthington, Sienna Miller and Danny Huston, earned a long standing ovation for its May premiere at Cannes. Chapter One will be shown at Venice ahead of Chapter Two.

“My dream was always to show ‘Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two’ at the Venice Film Festival,” Costner said in a statement. “Their decision to show ‘Chapter One’ earlier in the day...

Horizon: An American Saga is a passion project of Kevin Costner’s that has definitely shaken up his life. With talks about how his self-financing the project and lengthy shooting schedule affected his personal life and his hit show Yellowstone, Costner put a lot on the line for this series of films. The drama would not end by Chapter 1‘s release, as the lackluster performance of that first film at the box office prompted Warner Bros. to suspend the planned release of Chapter 2. This decision is a devastating blow for both Costner and fans of the first movie as the story is largely a setup for future chapters.

While it remains to be seen how and when the studio plans to release Chapter 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter, this next entry in the saga will be getting a world premiere at the Venice Film Festival out-of-competition on September 7, which is...

The next bit of Kevin Costner’s western epic saga, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 is heading to Venice for its premiere.

The US cinema release date of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 may have been thrown into doubt following the first film’s sluggish box office performance, but it’ll still get a glitzy debut in Venice later this year.

Actor, writer, director and producer Kevin Costner’s epic western will make its debut at the city of canals’ film festival on the 7th September, with the first chapter set to screen earlier on the same day. Chapter 1 weighed in at a shade over three hours long, while the sequel isn’t much shorter at around two hours 45 minutes. If you’re heading to the Venice International Film Festival this autumn and plan on catching both movies, we’d recommend taking a pillow with you, or perhaps a tub of saddle sore ointment.

On Wednesday, Kevin Costner got a big win regarding his dream project Horizon. The Yellowstone star has a premiere date for Horizon: An American Saga–Chapter Two. Moreover, it will premiere at a prestigious film festival.

In addition to this news, the first movie in the four-movie project is getting an unprecedented showing. Lots of big wins for the award-winning actor and director. Here are all the details.

Yellowstone fans who have been waiting to watch Kevin Costner’s second Western are steps closer. On Wednesday, Deadline shared the announcement that Horizon: An American Saga–Chapter 2 will be shown at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. The festival will screen this movie on Saturday, September 7. This will be screened out of competition. This is the World Premiere.

Part two of Kevin Coster‘s Horizon: An American Saga will premiere at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter Two, directed by and starring the Oscar-winning actor, boasts a star-studded supporting cast of Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone and Danny Huston. It is set to get its world premiere in the out-of-competition section in Venice on Sept. 7.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One will also be screened on the same day after the film received a 10-minute standing ovation in Cannes in May – though critics soon piled on Costner’s Western epic. Horizon was the first film in writer-director-star Costner’s four-picture gamble that he famously leveraged one of his homes to help finance (spending $38 million out of pocket). Chapter One is three hours and is largely focused on setting the stage — introducing a sprawling ensemble of characters.

Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two” is set to world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September after its U.S. release was pulled.

The Western epic’s second chapter was scrapped earlier this month from its planned Aug. 16 release in U.S. theaters after “Horizon’s” first installment, which carried a $100 million budget, earned only $11 million on its opening weekend.

“Chapter Two” — which Costner again directs and stars in alongside Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone and Danny Huston — will bow on the Lido out-of-competition on Sept. 7. The world premiere will be preceded earlier the same day by a screening of the first “Horizon” movie, which launched from Cannes in May to a seven-minute standing ovation.

The Crooked Man finds “Hellboy and a rookie Bprd agent stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia. There, they discover a small community haunted by witches, led by a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboy’s past: the Crooked Man. In the comic, The Crooked Man was an eighteenth-century miser and war profiteer named Jeremiah Witkins who was hanged for his crimes yet returned from Hell as the region’s resident Devil.” Jefferson White is among the cast of the new film.

Danny Boyle has finished shooting his horror follow-up, 28 Years Later, while Nia DaCosta prepares to start filming another sequel next month.

28 Years Later has wrapped production in London, capping a shoot that began towards the end of May. Everybody involved will be getting a wee summer break before reuniting to shoot the next film in the planned trilogy, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which will also be filmed in London.

Well, not quite everybody. 28 Years Later's director, Danny Boyle is passing the torch to Candyman helmer Nia DaCosta for the second film in the planned trilogy and the fourth film in the overall series. As yet, we also don’t know if the lead cast of 28 Years Later will be returning for the follow-up, that being Jodie Comer, Ralph Fiennes and Charlie Hunman. Hopefully it stays that way too as knowing the actors are all set to...

Jimmy Kimmel and John Mulaney each declined separate offers from ABC to host the 2025 Academy Awards, according to media reports.

The late night host was an expected contender for the gig, as he’s hosted Hollywood’s biggest night four times before in 2017, 2018, 2023 and 2024. He currently ranks as the fourth most frequent Oscars host behind Johnny Carson’s five, Billy Crystal’s nine and Bob Hope’s 19. He declined the invitation for 2025 earlier this summer.

Mulaney, on the other hand, was riding a swell of support to host next year’s Oscars after memorably presenting at this year’s and hosting the Governor’s Awards. The stand-up comedian’s schedule would not allow for the commitment, according to Puck, who first reported the news. “Everybody’s in L.A.” may get a renewal order from Netflix, and he has several other projects coming up.

The last few years have not been kind to Kevin Costner. After months of controversy surrounding his Yellowstone exit, the official studio statement clashed against his reputation, turning the entire fanbase against the actor. His attempt at redressal failed badly, especially considering his initial silence on the issue, which most took as a sign of a guilty conscience.

Although Kevin Costner has moved on from the Taylor Sheridan series, controversy has followed him to the end of the line. His passion project Horizon: An American Saga, which has been 40 years in the making, fell short of audience expectations. The 7-minute-long Cannes standing ovation turned into a sneering jab in the face of the actor after Horizon sank in ratings.

Kevin Costner doesn't think of 'Horizon: An American Saga' as a passion project.The 69-year-old star has directed and financed the Western film series – the first of which failed to impress audiences and critics when it was released last month – but dislikes the term that many have used to describe the pictures.Kevin told AARP: "Calling it that actually minimises it."I've been passionate about a lot of things that I've done. This is a good thing about America. People came west. It's part of our legacy.

Kevin Costner wanted to tell a huge story with his new Western film “Horizon.” But so far, it hasn’t been smooth sailing. The movie came out in theaters in June, but it didn’t do that well its first couple weeks. It only made $33 million, and Costner spent around $50 million to make it!

But don’t count “Horizon” out yet. Just a few weeks after theaters, you could rent or buy it online. Lots of people did that, and it became one of the most popular choices. More people watched it at home than recent big movies like the new “Planet of the Apes” or “Garfield.”

Because of the online interest, the studio behind “Horizon” delayed the next film in the series. It was set to come in August, but they pushed it back. They want fans to have more time to find the first one online before the next part comes.

Kevin Costner might have put his heart, soul, and money into Horizon: An American Saga, but the filmmaker doesnt necessarily consider it a passion project. Horizon debuted in theaters on June 28, 2024, earning just $33 million at the box office, which was a disappointing result considering its $50 million budget. Thankfully, this film is finding new life on VOD, where it was made available to rent or buy just 18 days after its premiere, shooting to the top of the charts.

Its no secret that Costner has invested a significant amount of his own money into the Horizon saga to bring the project to life, but that doesnt mean he considers it to be what many others have called a "passion project" for the 69-year-old star. Per AARP, Costner says that referring to it as such minimizes its impact. For him, he says its just a good idea.

"Calling it that [a passion project] actually minimizes it.

The Boys is one of the most popular superhero series in the world, and its fourth season premiered on June 13, 2024, with the first three episodes. The season was Certified Fresh with high ratings, and Amazon reported that the series also saw an increase in viewership. Despite that, some fans were review-bombing the season due to its increased political undertone, which shows that the writers have decided to give it their all when it comes to political satire. One aspect of that satire is a new character called Firecracker, a new supervillain who will have a prominent role in this season.

Not that long ago, we reported on who influenced the character, as showrunner Eric Kripke confirmed which US politician influenced Firecracker. Now, we also know what the actress, Valorie Curry, thinks about the influence behind her character, and it turns out that there is some The Boys-level irony behind that story.

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 became a hit on VOD, reaching #1 on various digital platforms in spite of its poor theatrical performance. The film thrived on VOD, surpassing other titles on iTunes, Fandango/Vudu, and Amazon's Prime Video. Despite initial box office struggles, the positive VOD reception signals the potential for success for the future release of Horizon Chapter 2.

One of the biggest flops of 2024 is finally getting the attention it deserves. Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1, the latest epic from Kevin Costner, was an immediate hit on Video-On-Demand (VOD), hitting #1 on top ten lists of digital video providers. The film, featuring multiple storylines depicting America's westward expansion after the Civil War, couldn't entice moviegoers to sit through its three-hour runtime, but is finding plenty of viewers enjoying it in their homes.

According to a report by Tom Brueggemann at IndieWire, the Western immediately hit #1 once released on major digital platforms,...

Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 struggled at the box office but is finding success on VOD platforms. The 3-hour runtime may have deterred theatergoers, leading to stronger VOD performance and potential for franchise revival. Costner's upcoming sequels may face challenges, but his VOD success could pave the way for a streaming deal to save the series.

Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 has finally started to gain traction with its video-on-demand release. The first installment of Costner's new Western franchise severely underperformed at the summer 2024 box office, which resulted in the direct follow-up sequel Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 to be pulled from its set theatrical release date of August 16. Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 is, however, showing new signs of life and currently tops VOD rental charts. It seems like Costner took a page out of his...

There’s no doubt that Nintendo and Lego share a special relationship that began with Mario. However, it was further expanded to the hit-title Animal Crossing, and soon, The Legend of Zelda.

However, the two companies aren’t done just yet! We’re soon going to see a new Mario set hitting the store, but it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before. This upcoming set features Mario steering Yoshi in Super Mario World in all of its pixelated glory! While it’s great to see we’re finally getting one of the most requested Mario sets, fans already know it’s going to be too expensive!

The New Super Mario Lego Set Might Be Too Expensive

Lego still hasn’t officially revealed the upcoming Super Mario World set. However, one of the stores that stock up these sets in Singapore accidentally added to its page a bit too early.

As it stands, Kevin Costner's "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1" is going to go down as one of the year's biggest box office misfires. While Costner's ambitious plan to make an uncompromising, four-film Western saga certainly seemed appealing, it just hasn't panned out from a commercial standpoint. To date, the first film has made just $29 million at the domestic box office, with only a few million coming from overseas thus far. For a movie with a $100 million budget, and the similarly expensive "Chapter 2" already in the can, that's a bad look. "Horizon" is finding new life on VOD, which is certainly good news for Costner and all involved. But is that going to be enough to truly turn the tide?

"Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1" is currently sitting at number one on the iTunes and Fandango at Home movie charts, per IndieWire. It's currently above...

While the rumors surrounding Kevin Costner’s exit from Yellowstone have been a source of headache for Taylor Sheridan, both parties had relatively held their silence as a sign of respect toward the other. Paramount, on the other hand, had no problem dumping oil into the fire after twisting the subject of Costner’s exit to paint an unfavorable picture of the show’s lead star.

By the end of the business day, Kevin Costner had been branded a villain. Further speculation spread like wildfire after reports surfaced about the Yellowstone cast cutting off contact with the senior actor.

As such, when the clamoring had died down enough to make space for Costner’s voice, the actor made sure that fans knew the truth behind the controversy instead of the studio’s misinterpreted claims.

Horizon: An American Saga shows some giddy-up following its much-publicized box-office flop. Chapter 1 of Kevin Costner's Western drama gets a much-needed boost on the video-on-demand (VOD) charts.

Per IndieWire, Chapter 1 of Horizon holds the top spot on the iTunes and Fandango at Home VOD charts. The iTunes chart ranks films by transactions, while Fandango at Home uses revenue as its revenue point. Both charts are for the week of Jul. 15 to Jul. 21, with Horizon outdoing its closest competition, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, to top each one.

Horizon: An American Saga is number one on the iTunes and Fandango at Home VOD charts. The Kevin Costner Western has been a major bomb at the box office and hasn't fared well with critics. The audience response has been somewhat lukewarm. Horizon's strong VOD performance is a positive sign, but the film isn't poised to overcome its theatrical losses in the short term.

Kevin Costner's future movie franchise, Horizon: An American Saga, is in jeopardy after poor box office returns and negative reviews. The possibility of the franchise continuing may rely on Costner transitioning Horizon into a TV series instead of a movie. If Horizon were to become a TV show, it would be ironic given that Costner left Yellowstone to work on the movie franchise, now facing uncertainties.

Horizon: An American Saga was positioned to be Kevin Costner's Yellowstone replacement, and the franchise's dire outlook means one ironic change could help save it. After having a major Western renaissance with Yellowstone, Costner was finally able to make his biggest passion project a reality. Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 & Chapter 2 were set for release only seven weeks apart, with Warner Bros. partnering with the actor/director to give the film's wide theatrical releases. Initially, there was optimism that Costner's Western movies...

Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 will be available to own from next Monday. More details below.

After a muted response from critics and audiences alike, Warner Bros. is making Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 available to buy digitally on 29th July in the UK. Chapter 1 was made available digitally a few weeks earlier in the US.

Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 premiered in cinemas in late June, but failed to bring in the people. The film, only the first of planned four films, grossed $32m worldwide against a reported budget of $100m. Warner Bros later cancelled the theatrical release of Chapter 2 and it’s currently not known when we might see the film and on what platform.

Inin Games has once again delivered retro fans a blast from the past with Over Horizon: Steel Empire. This compilation brings together two acclaimed yet overlooked shooter classics—Over Horizon and Steel Empire—in one package across multiple platforms.

Over Horizon was initially released in 1991 exclusively in Japan and parts of Europe for the Nes. With its creative level of design and ability to configure different weapon layouts, Over Horizon proved itself to be one of the system’s best shooters. Steel Empire launched the following year for the Sega Genesis, standing out from the sci-fi space shooters of the era with its steam-powered dieselpunk setting featuring airships and zeppelins. While both gained cult followings, their rarity made experiencing the full games difficult.

This compilation changes that by including the original versions of Over Horizon and Steel Empire’s Genesis port, plus an enhanced Game Boy Advance edition. It also...
