Kevin Costner's new western movie epic franchise begins, and these are the different options for where to watch Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1. After rejuvenating his career with the hit western TV show Yellowstone, Costner managed to get a major passion project off the ground. Development of the Horizon movie franchise began in the 1980s, but it was not until the 2020s that the projects began to fully materialize. This came with the announcement that the first two Horizon: An American Saga installments would be made back-to-back, with Costner planning for at least two more sequels.
Releasing the Horizon movies as planned is incredibly ambitious by its star and director. Kevin Costner locked in a deal with Warner Bros. to give the first two installments theatrical releases within months of each other. The first two Horizon: An American Saga movies come out in June and August 2024 exclusively in theaters. But for those who have become used to watching the Yellowstone star at home, the western film will also be available to watch on streaming.

Thanks to Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema joining the projects as distributors, Kevin Costner gets his desire to have his westerns release in theaters. The epic story begins when Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 releases on June 28, 2024. There are no premium format screening options, like IMAX or 3D. As a 3-hour western epic, Horizon: An American Saga showtimes could be slightly more limited unless there is enough interest to demand more screenings of the $100 million film.

When Will Horizon: An American Saga Release On Streaming?
Horizon Is Expected To Stream On Max
✕ Remove Ads
Due to Warner Bros.'s involvement, Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 is expected to receive a streaming release on Max. No official plans for its streaming debut have been confirmed. Based on WB's history, a September 2024 release for Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 on Max is projected. This would come after Chapter 2 debuts in theaters, but there is no chance of it debuting on streaming before August 16, 2024. That is the earliest it could happen, as 49 days later is the quickest the studio has moved a movie to Max since 2023.
When Will Horizon: An American Saga Release On Digital?
No Release Date Has Been Confirmed
The option to watch Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 at home on digital will predate its streaming release. Warner Bros. tends to move films to PVOD around one month after debuting in theaters. Releases that don't perform well at the box office can go to digital in just 18 days, while bigger hits like Dune: Part Two and Wonka took 46 days. With smaller box office expectations, a projected July 2024 release on digital for Horizon: An American Saga is sensible. That would give Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 theatrical exclusivity in the 18-32 day range.
