Kevin Costner’s passion project, the epic Western movie “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1,” has been a disaster at the box office — but it’s still getting a premiere date on Max, hitting the streamer on Friday, Aug. 23.

“Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One,” which cost $100 million to make, made only $32 million during its theatrical run, which came to an end last week.According to Box Office Mojo, the film domestically earned around $11 million the weekend it debuted in theaters on June 28.The movie’s gross domestic total was about $29 million when it closed in theaters last week.Internationally, “Chapter 1” made over $3.6 million — bringing the film’s worldwide box office total to $32.6 million.It’s been confirmed by Costner, 69, that he spent $38 million of his own money to make the first installment in the planned four-part film series.“That’s the message I want my kids to understand about who I am: that I do what I believe,” the actor told GQ in May when he was promoting “Horizon.”“I have fear like everybody else. I don’t want to be humiliated.” Costner’s film completely bombed upon its release less than two months ago.

The Post called the film, where Cage plays a serial killer, “one of the best horror movies of the past several years.”“Inside Out 2,” which was in second place last Friday, fell down a notch to third, with just over a $6.1 million-dollar take.On Wednesday, it surpassed 2018’s “Incredibles 2” to become Pixar’s biggest worldwide earner of all time, as per The Hollywood Reporter.“Fly Me to the Moon,” a rom-com drama starring A-listers Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, landed in fourth, with close to $4.5 million in revenue.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” co-stars defended the film after it flopped at the box office. Michael Rooker told TMZ on Monday that audiences should see the three-hour movie — the first of a four-part series — because it is “real cinema.”“We ain’t used to that sh-t,” said Rooker, 69. “We’re used to 90-minute movies, everything’s 90 minutes.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1,” the Western movie Kevin Costner directed, co-wrote and stars in, tanked at the box office last weekend, grossing a paltry $11 million.More alarming is that the three-hour film, which the former “Yellowstone” star reportedly put $38 million of his own money into, is the first of a four-part series. The second entry hits theaters quickly in August, and the third is currently filming. According to Vanity Fair, Costner, 69, plans to devote $100 million of his own cash to the ambitious effort.“I’ve mortgaged 10 acres on the water in Santa Barbara where I was going to build my last house,” Costner told Deadline.
