Title Changed to Dino Wolf?

I saw the movie "Dino Wolf" from 2009 listed for the Showtime Next channel. I couldn't find a movie called that on IMDb, but found "Dire Wolf" by searching on Maxwell Caulfield. So I thought Showtime got the title wrong. But when the opening credits started up, it was "Dino Wolf." I guess with all the monster mash-ups on the SyFy Channel they thought they should make it sound more interesting.

They can change the name but it still stinks!

I can understand the name change: While the dire wolf was the largest prehistoric canine, it's not well known and therefore 'Dire Wolf' sounds kinda lame; hence, the change to "DinoWolf," which is an all-around better title for a TV-budget creature feature.
