10 Great Westerns That Bombed At The Box Office

While Western movies were once the backbone of Hollywood, the genre has seen some great movies flop disastrously in the last few decades. The Western is not what it used to be. Some recent efforts in the genre have attempted to revive Western tropes, but this endeavor has been met with mixed results. For every critically acclaimed Western like Netflix’s 2021 outing The Harder They Fall, there is a high-profile flop like 2022’s Cry Macho. For every sleeper hit like 2012’s Django Unchained, there is a historic financial catastrophe like 2013’s The Lone Ranger.
