The film opened on November 26, 1997. Winona Ryder won the Blockbuster Entertainment award for her role in the film. In spite of this, the film is considered the least successful in the series, being poorly received by many fans and critics. It grossed only around $45 million at the US box office. There was also controversy surrounding proper credit for the alien design. H.R. Giger, the artist famous for creating the original alien design, was openly displeased that the film did not give him a credit for this and sent a letter to the studio complaining. This does not parallel to his lack of credit in Aliens, as the new design for the Alien in the second movie was actually put together by someone else entirely. In the 2003 Alien Quadrilogy DVD box set, Jeunet included an alternative version of the film with extended opening and closing scenes.
