This year Kevin Costner made his big dream come true of his own epic western saga in the cinema. With Horizon, the first part of his four-film series started on the big screen, for which he even left out the hit series Yellowstone. However, while the critics had few good words for the drama, the audience only followed suit and with around 38 million US dollars worldwide (via Box Office Mojo), it was far from achieving the desired result.
