Kevin Costner's latest film, 'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1,' has struggled at the box office, earning only $12 million in its opening weekend despite a $100 million production cost. Costner, who directed, starred in, and invested $38 million of his own money into the film, left 'Yellowstone' to focus on this project. 'Horizon' faced stiff competition from 'A Quiet Place: Day One' and 'Inside Out 2,' which grossed $53 million and $58 million, respectively. 'A Quiet Place: Day One,' directed by Michael Sarnoski and featuring Lupita Nyong’o, set a record for the horror franchise with a $22.5 million opening day. Costner's ambitious Western has received mixed reviews, with some praising its scope and others criticizing its sprawling narrative and lack of resolution. The film's second chapter is set to release in August.
Kevin Costner’s $100 million Western a box-office bust https://t.co/TV78X51twS https://t.co/iawOZHqy61
Nachos aside, the film was excellent. While I prefer the more developed and less chaotic themes of the main films, this one was outstanding in its own way. Now, I'm even more excited for A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead 🎮 Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn compliment each other so… https://t.co/VV82Cd0bb0
Costner’s Horizon should have been a television series, but it’s worth seeing in the cinema. Somewhat uneven but it features some really incredible moments and breathtaking scenes. https://t.co/PBWS5TBPcv
I really enjoyed HORIZON but Big Kev is clearly making zero compromises and expects you to be patient while he sets his grand narrative in motion. It's SPRAWLING, shot for the big screen but organized more like the first three episodes of a drama series than standalone film. https://t.co/bzfuPH38Md
Saw Costner' new Western today "Horizon". Sad to say it's a dog. Too many simultaneous story lines, not compelling. Kept being struck by characters like 1 being played by Sienna Miller-clean + pristine, looked like they jumped out of a Ralph Lauren Catalog! It's the frontier!!!
Never thought Quiet Place needed more movies, especially a prequel, but Day One wrecked me — had to calm down in the credits because it was so moving I was emotionally overwhelmed. Just a beautiful thing, that one.

#AQuietPlaceDayOne review: With most of the apocalyptic mayhem happening off-screen, it is #LupitaNyong’o who manages to grab the eye and keep it in a prequel which is a quiet riot, @chiber_mini writes. https://t.co/KrS6uzI5d3
REVIEW: Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 is less a revival of the big-screen Western than an attempt to be every single Western all at once. More: https://t.co/2FSi0KgazO https://t.co/mFvpYnfirO
And Costner’s mystery financiers are reportedly ponying every penny of the promo and advertising freight https://t.co/usEsUWjGX0
"I wanted to work more than once a year and it was important that I made room for 'Yellowstone' and made room for 'Horizon,' but people ran through deadlines. They were busy; they had a lot to do," explained Kevin Costner in an interview on "CBS Mornings" https://t.co/d0UJOBNyfx
Paramount’s prequel A Quiet Place: Day One is in a closer-than-expected race with Pixar’s reigning champ Inside Out 2 for the weekend box office crown, while Kevin Costner‘s pricey Western Horizon: An American Saga is being left in the dust https://t.co/Pqb2362FVi
It turns out A Quiet Place: Day One isn’t really about the monsters at all, and that's what makes it great. https://t.co/TeHBCoAKDY https://t.co/NWiYZdfy4g

Costner & Co. Paid For “Horizon” Marketing https://t.co/bysQ7fNTqX https://t.co/lC0aTsKVJX
Kevin Costner sold 3 houses, got divorced, left millions of dollars on the table with the final season of Yellowstone and spent $100 million on a movie that barely made $10 million in the first week of box office. https://t.co/XoioVlwAtx
It takes a little time to get going, and there's a lot to set up, but I quite enjoyed Kevin Costner's Horizon Chapter 1. It is long but I think the low Cinemascore is cause Costner is a minor character who doesn't appear for an hour.
Kevin Costner's independently financed Western #HorizonAmericanSaga is projecting an $11 million opening. The film cost $100 million to produce. "Chapter 2" releases in seven weeks. https://t.co/J8cYbcdQB2 https://t.co/vxMARwXoFH
There's hubris in Kevin Costner expecting moviegoers to show up for what is essentially a 10-hour miniseries with the first part of his Western epic #HorizonAmericanSaga . And the box office returns are showing his folly. https://t.co/GL75vTFDOB
I'm going to see Kevin Costner's Horizon movie tonight I'm excited even though I know that poor movie doesn't stand a chance in hell of making the money back
