Matt Talbot from Simcoe.com said that the Wet Bandits were "fantastic" and "never old" on "repeat viewings". Michael Walsh of Nerdist noted the church scene as "One of the best, most touching scenes ". By the time the film had run its course in theaters, Home Alone was the third-highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, as well as in the United States and Canada behind only Star Wars ($322 million at the time) and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial ($399 million at the time), according to the home video box. Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold over 67.7 million tickets in the United States.
What will happen in the Home Alone reboot?
Ybarra's writeup for 2022 only briefly touched on the topic of BlizzCon in a rundown of different staffing changes that have been made internally within Blizzard this year. Those changes included appointing April McKee, the former director of Xbox Gaming, as Blizzard's executive producer for BlizzCon . Back at the house, Sinclair, Jessica, and Hughes capture Finn and detain him in the Suburban. Mason, however, saves Finn by throwing snowballs at the leather-clad Jessica, who is now very disheveled.
Also, an R-rated seventh film, intended to be directed by Augustine Frizzell, entered development hell. Home Alone was the number-one film at the box office for 12 consecutive weeks, from its release weekend of November 16–18, 1990 through the weekend of February 1–3, 1991. It was removed from the top spot when Sleeping with the Enemy opened with $13 million. It remained in the top ten until the weekend of April 26, well past Easter weekend. It made two more appearances in the top ten (the weekend of May 31 – June 2 and the weekend of June 14–16) before finally falling out of the top ten. After over nine months into its run, the film had earned 16x its debut weekend and ended up making a final gross of $285,761,243, the top-grossing film of its year in North America.

Columbus was later able to get in touch with Steven Spielberg, who helped him contact John Williams to produce the final score. Traditional Christmas songs, such as "O Holy Night" and "Carol of the Bells", are featured prominently in the film, as well as the film's theme song "Somewhere in My Memory". The soundtrack was released by Sony Classical Records on cassette on December 4, 1990, and on CD on May 27, 2015. The film's stunts also created tension for the crew during shooting.
Disney has revealed that the villains of the new movie will actually be a married couple and that they infiltrate the Mercer home not just for a general robbery, but to steal a valuable family heirloom. It sounds like the Home Alonereboot will have plenty of opportunities for some thematic parallels between the Mercer’s and the intruding family, which could add an extra layer of narrative complexity to an otherwise familiar story. In addition to all the newcomers, Disney’s Home Alone reboot will reportedly feature cameos from Macaulay Culkin, who played original protagonist Kevin McCallister in the first two movies, and Devin Ratray, who played Kevin’s older brother Buzz. The two actors will supposedly be playing their old characters all grown up, but it remains to be seen how exactly the McCallisters will fit into the story of the new movie. Regardless, it’s great to see both Culkin and Ratray getting some modern recognition for what they’ve given to the franchise, and bringing them back is an excellent move that bodes well for Home Sweet Home Alone.

10-year-old Finn Baxter and his older sister Alexis are technophiles who isolate themselves from their parents Curtis and Catherine and the outside world. Finn is often playing video games and Alexis is often on her phone and computer. Encouraged by his dad to socialize, Finn befriends his neighbor Mason who informs him about the legend of a smothered gangster whose ghost haunts the Baxters' new home, leaving Finn paranoid.
