Western Stars: Kevin Costner’s “Yellowstone” Swaps Home Viewership, All Seasons in Top 10 Chart

Share

Thirty one years after “Dances with Wolves,” Kevin Costner is all over the place and on top again!

Costner’s TV series from the mind of Taylor Sheridan has swamped the home viewing chart — among movies!

On the Digital Entertainment Group chart for home viewing this week, the current season of “Yellowstone” is number 1 and ahead of “Free Guy,” a big summer movie.

That’s season 4 of “Yellowstone.” The other three seasons of the series are also lodged in top 10 scattered among other movies among “Fast and Furious 9” and “Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch.”

The DEG chart measures DVD sales. So far “Yellowstone,” apart from its Paramount Network showings, has earned $22 million in sales. They should up the prices!

“Yellowstone”‘s success, as I’ve said before, is pointed directly at the bread basket of this country. It”s comfort food even for liberals, but it’s aimed exactly at conservative America. I hope the Democrats are taking notice of this. If Costner wants that road, he’s got it. But he could also invite Beto O’Rourke to make an appearance as a cowhand!
