Kevin Costner’s Disastrous “Horizon” Still Playing Nightly at One Drive-in In Upstate NY

Share

No one has told the folks in Amenia, New York that Kevin Costner’s “Horizon” is out of theaters.

The $100 million flop Civil War western is playing in just one theater in America — the Four Brothers Drive In. The three hour film is on every night this week at 10:55pm according to their website.

Otherwise, “Horizon” ended its theatrical run last Thursday after 28 days and a total gross of $28 million.

Warner Bros. moved it to home video last week. Initially “Horizon” was number 1 among home movies. But now iTunes lists it at number 4 after just a few days.

For Costner, “Horizon” gives him a hat trick, a trio of huge career flops that also includes “Waterworld” and “The Postman.” One day there’ll be a film festival for all of these, aimed at insomniacs.

Amenia looks like a bucolic place. The population is 4,314. Four Brothers is a Drive-in, which means teens can hit “Horizon” on late dates and do what they will without paying much attention to the screen. Parents will know where they are from 11pm to 2am. So it all works out. Unless someone asks about the plot.
