McCauley Culkin has been in the news for the past few days due to a fan-made trailer of Home Alone 3. Culkin starred in the first part of the much-loved series of films where he played 8-year-old Kevin McCallister. The Christmas Comedy film was released in 1990 and is still one of the most loved films to watch in the Holiday season.

The first two movies of this film series were directed by Chris Columbus and starred the Richie Rich star, who was paid $100K and then $5 Million for each part, respectively. The first part was made on a budget of $18 Million and earned a profit of around 1483%, collecting $285 million in North America and $288 million worldwide.

As the film is jumping ranks on Netflix’s list of popular films, we thought we would bring you all the films of this popular film series and all the specific details so you can pre-plan your Christmas holidays for a binge session with your family better informed than before.

The Home Alone series basically has six films – three theatricals – Home Alone (1990), Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), both of which starred Macaulay Culkin, and Home Alone 3 (1997), which starred Alex D. Linz. Apart from the three theatrical films, the series has three more television films sharing the same name of the franchise, though all stand-alone films are on the same themes, and calling them loose remakes would make more sense.
