![]() It was the last Home Alone movie to get a theatrical release (two made-for-TV sequels have followed, though the less said about them the better). ![]() Home Alone 3 was unsuccessful compared to its predecessors, making $79 million against a $32 million budget. The movie also features a young Scarlett Johanssen in a small role as Alex's older sister. Alex, like Kevin McAllister before him, rigs a bunch of traps to fight off the bandits in his house. The car ends up in the hands of eight-year-old Alex Pruitt (Linz), home alone with chicken pox. Rather than petty crooks, they're international spies who, due to a luggage mix-up, have lost a stolen microchip they had stashed inside of a remote-controlled car. The home invaders this time around are played by Olek Krupa, Rya Kihlstedt, David Thornton, and Twin Peaks' Lenny Von Dohlen. Culkin-less but not wanting to leave money on the table, the studio decided to go in a different direction for Home Alone 3, essentially rebooting the franchise with new child star Alex D. ![]() Then there was an idea for a third installment with a teenaged Kevin McAllister, but Culkin was still avoiding the spotlight (besides, Home Alone with a 16-year-old just wouldn't be very cute).

That's when he took a hiatus from acting to try to live as normal a life as possible for a few years.Īccording to Uproxx, there had been an idea to shoot a third Home Alone simultaneously with the second, but that didn't happen. Culkin followed up Home Alone with a number of other successful movies, including the coming-of-age dramedy My Girl, the thriller The Good Son, and the sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which was almost as financially successful as the first, grossing $359 million worldwide. ![]()
