Christmas classic movie "Home Alone": Warner Bros. missed the box office myth of 476 million

According to media reports, the Christmas classic movie "Home Alone" was originally produced by Warner Bros., but as the budget increased from US$13 million to US$18 million, Warner chose to withdraw and was taken over by 20th Century Fox.

The film did not disappoint at the box office, with global box office exceeding $476 million, ranking third in the global box office that year and setting the record for the highest box office for a live-action comedy in history, a record that was not broken until 2011 by "The Hangover Part II."

Home Alone is an American Christmas comedy film produced by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus. It premiered in the United States in 1990. Starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard and Catherine O'Hara.

The story describes an 8-year-old boy named Kevin who was left alone at home by his parents during Christmas and fought two thieves alone to defend his home. The film was shot in Illinois between February and May 1990 and was originally released by Warner Bros., but because John Hughes exceeded the budget during the production process, it was released by 20th Century Fox instead.
