Westerns are wonderful, just not the DTV kind.

It appears that DTV and TV are the only ways the genre can survive nowadays. It doesn't seem to do well at the box office anymore.

Tombstone, Assassination of Jesse James, 3:10 To Yuma, Open Range, Unforgiving, The Proposition, Seraphim Falls, Ned Kelly, etc.
Westerns are alive and well.

Not exactly. Tombstone and Unforgiven were the only big hits in that list, and that was ages ago. Bringing those two up is pointless as they came out well over 15-16 years ago and their success has no relevance to now. 3:10 To Yuma barely broke even at the box office and Open Range was a hit only because it did not cost that much to make (both made way more on DVD though) and the others you listed all tanked over here. The genre is dying a very slow and horrible death at the theaters, which might explian why not many are made for it these days. I see more showing up on the Hallmark Channel than at the theaters nowadays. And do not bother bringing up Appaloosa either as that one was a major flop and only made on DVD. Ed Harris even said it took years to get that one made as the studios kept telling him that 'westerns are no longer marketable'. Even Sukiyaki Western Django barely got a theatrical release here. If you think the genre is alive and well, think again. It is slowly fading. It gets harder and harder every year to sell a western to today's audiences from the looks of it. This is my favorite gerne and I will always support, so even if it did go DTV or TV I will still check it out. I am glad that someone out there is still making themm, but the number gets smaller and smaller every year.

I own Sukiyaki Western Django and it certainly did not deserve a release. It's a horribly pretentious western that is overly drawn out. The Assassination of Jesse James(Great movie!) made plenty of money considering how tiny of a release it had and The Proposition was a global success. The western genre is not going anywhere. There are always westerns being greenlit and on the pipeline. There certainly are comic book ones on the way. Johah Hex for example, starring foxy Megan Fox. You are nuts to think that this genre is going away. There will always be Westerns, just because tons of westerns do not come out every year. DTV movies don't exist to me. Oh Korea and Japan are obsessed with the genre too. Westerns are apart of Americas mythology, they will never go away. Not to mention being a favorite genre of many, including myself. Although I prefer Spaghetti Westerns to the American ones.
Appoloosa looked horrible from the trailer alone, of course it flopped. Then again your normal run of the mill movie goer enjoys horrible movies. The Box Office says so all the time.

Well said, Chris.
As for anyone doubting the quality of Appaloosa, I assure you, it is a western worth checking out! My only gripe is Renee Zellwegger's character, but the film really belongs to Ed Harris and Viggo. If you're a fan of modern westerns, you will enjoy it.
