The Directors
The movie was directed by George P. Cosmatos. However, he was not originally slated to do so. The movie was initially set to be helmed by Kevin Jarre, the writer of the film. However, he got replaced early on. In the end, everything worked out well. We are sure things would not have been the same if Cosmatos was not the one to lead everything!
A Success
Even though there were concerns about how Tombstone would have done at the box office, it was a success. People thought that Western films were already on their way out, but the movie proved everyone wrong. Released on Christmas Eve of 1993, it grossed $56,505,065 domestically. Both critics and viewers adored the film. It went on to be a Western classic and even became the 14th highest-grossing Western flick since 1979.
