Release and Reception[]
The film was released in 3-D (and also in 2-D) on September 17, 2010 to 2,625 theaters nationwide by Lionsgate. Despite the mixed-to-negative reaction, the film was a box office success, making it the highest-grossing animated film from Lionsgate Films, and has developed a cult following among fans and audiences. Due to the box office success, a direct-to-DVD sequel, Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure, was released on October 8, 2013, which was also successful, making Alpha and Omega the first film in a planned franchise. Alpha and Omega 3: The Great Wolf Games (2014), Alpha and Omega 4: The Legend of the Saw-Tooth Cave (2014) and Alpha and Omega 5: Family Vacation (2015) are currently in production.
The film was dedicated to Dennis Hopper in memory of his death, being his final performance.
