HOME ALONE
Home Alone is a 1990 American Family Christmas Comedy Movie and produced by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus. The film stars Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, an eight-year-old boy, who is mistakenly left behind when his family flies to Paris for their Christmas vacation. While initially relishing time by himself, he is later greeted by two would-be burglars played by Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci. The film also features Catherine O'Hara and John Heard as Kevin's parents. As of 2009, Home Alone was the highest grossing comedy of all time.
In its opening weekend, Home Alone grossed $17 million in 1,202 theaters, averaging $14,211 per site and just 6% of the final total. Home Alone
proved so popular that it stayed in theaters well past the Christmas
season. It was the #1 film at the box office for 12 straight weeks, from
its release weekend of November 16–18, 1990 through the weekend of
February 1–3, 1991.
It remained a top 10 draw at the box office until the weekend of April
26 that year, which was well past Easter weekend. It made two more
appearances in the top 10 (the weekend of May 31-June 2 and the weekend
of June 14–16) before finally falling out of the top 10. The film ended up making a final gross of $285,761,243, the top grossing film of its year in North America. The film is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest grossing live-action comedy ever.
By the time it had run its course in theaters, Home Alone was the third-highest-grossing film of all time, according to the home video box. In total, its cinema run grossed $477,561,243 worldwide.
