CB: This week sees the release of Alpha and Omega, a new 3D animated film about two wolves who are captured by humans and forced to take a long trip to get back home. As evidenced by my review of the film, I can’t recommend watching the film in any capacity, but sometimes you have to do what your kids want to do. Below you will find a point-by-point breakdown of whether or not Alpha and Omega is worth a larger chunk of your paycheck at the box office.
Crest Animation Productions releases its first full length 3D animation in conjunction with Lionsgate Family Entertainment.
In Alpha and Omega two young wolves, Kate (Hayden Panetteire) and Humphrey (Justin Long), live on opposite sides of their pack in the Jasper National Park. Kate is an Alpha and Humphrey an Omega, but their friendship will land them in a whole lot of trouble when local conservationist ship them off to a reserve in Idaho.
There they meet a bunch of cuddly characters who try their best to get the pair home safely but, as their adventure get's every more hair raising they begin to realise that their love for one another.
Joining the voice cast is a host of Hollywood favourites including Danny Glover, Christina
Ricci and the late Dennis Hopper.
Weekend box office earnings have officially come in, and as expected The Social Network topped the charts with $23 million, while Let Me In largely disappointed with less than $6 million.
THR: Adults stole the show at the weekend box office.
Older moviegoers rallied to fall's first star-driven movie drama, as Warner Bros.' Ben Affleck-helmed heist thriller "The Town" copped $23.8 million in U.S. and Canadian coin for a surprise No. 1 bow.
"Town" stars Affleck, Jon Hamm of TV's "Mad Men" fame and Jeremy Renner, a hot casting commodity since last year's "The Hurt Locker." The trio stumped tirelessly to promote the Boston-set pic, which was produced for under $35 million and was 50% co-financed by Legendary Pictures.
