Alpha and Omega is a 2010 3-D computer animated film produced by Crest Animation Productions and Richard Rich. The film is directed by Anthony Bell and Ben Gluck, starring the voices of Justin Long, Hayden Panettiere, Dennis Hopper, Danny Glover and Christina Ricci.
Alpha and Omega's key animation was done at Crest's animation studio in India. Pre-production and post-production took place in Los Angeles.
The film was released on September 17, 2010 to 2,625 theaters by Lions Gate Entertainment. It has been shown in its 3-D format.
The film took in $2,288,773 on opening day, and $9,106,906 on its' opening weekend domestically, reaching fifth place at the box office. The films' opening was mildly disappointing, as it had only earned a fraction of 2010's other animated films. In its' second weekend, due to being overshadowed by Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole for 3-D screens, the film dropped 48% to $4.8 million and eighth place.
In its' third weekend, the film held better with a 37% drop to around $3 million and finishing in tenth place. The film in 17 days has earned $19 million domestically and $23 million worldwide, though it has yet to open in many foreign markets.
Produced on a $20 million budget, the film will probably end up becoming a minor box office success. The film has officially surpassed Happily N'ever After to become Lionsgate's highest-grossing animated feature to date.
