Thus, he decides to let Kevin open up the first present as a sign of reconciliation. The next day, the McCallisters accidentally oversleep due to Peter's actions the previous night. They rush through the airport to make their flight with Peter allowing Kevin to hold his travel bag, and Kevin stops while getting batteries for his Talkboy while the family continues to rush ahead. As his family makes their flight, Kevin sees a man who is wearing a similar suit jacket as Peter and follows him toward a flight to New York City. As the plane starts to move, Kevin asks a man sitting next to him if he has ever been to Florida, but the man speaks French in reply, which Kevin does not understand and begins to listen to some music on his Talkboy. On the other plane, Peter reassures Kate that they have nothing to worry about during this trip, unaware that Kevin is on another plane.
After his work on the Home Alone movies, slowly but surely, he built his resume and kept himself busy. You might have caught him appearing in Law & Order, Supernatural, The Good Wife, Elementary, Mosaic, Chicago Med, The Tick, Better Call Saul, and many more. In 2021, Ratray reprised his role as Buzz McCallister in the Home Alone reboot Home Sweet Home Alone. In 2014, actor Macaulay Culkin went on a tour with his comedy rock band, ThePizza Underground.

The bandits reach the roof by the time Kevin climbs down to the sidewalk and Marv tries throwing a brick at Kevin, but misses. They climb down the rope, but Kevin, having soaked the rope with kerosene, lights it on fire, causing them to fall and get covered in varnish. Kevin uses a pay phone to report the robbery and bandits' location to the police, telling them to "look for fireworks."
While packing up to leave the hotel and take an available flight to Miami, Kevin fends off the hotel staff by playing Angels with Even Filthier Souls, making them think an armed guest has opened fire in the hotel. As he stays over, Kevin discovers an indoor swimming pool and has ice cream as well as food from room service while watching Angels with Even Filthier Souls, a sequel to Angels with Filthy Souls from the previous film. That night, the concierge of the hotel's staff, Mr. Hector, attempts to break in the suite, suspicious of Kevin. However, Kevin fends him off by a clown balloon in the shower as Kevin plays a recording he managed to capture of Frank in the shower, causing Hector to flee. Meanwhile, in Miami, the McCallister family reaches the run-down Villa De Dolphine, which Frank comments did not look as bad on his and Leslie's honeymoon. Kevin looks through his father's address book and finds that his uncle Rob lives there and decides to potentially stop by his home as Kevin thinks that he usually brings out nice gifts.

She pelts the bandits with a bucket full of birdseed, prompting pigeons to swoop down on them and swarm them. Kevin flees and sets off fireworks that he bought earlier to signal the police, who arrest the bandits and discover Kevin's photographs and tape recording to use as evidence against them. Kevin ends up in New York with his father's travel bag and wallet and realizes that his family are nowhere to be seen, wondering where his family is. In Miami, the family retrieves their luggage and Kevin's travel bag, only to realize that Kevin did not make the trip to Miami with Peter replying "What?!" causing Kate to scream Kevin's name and faint. After it is confirmed that he is not in Chicago, the Miami police inform his parents that they will have to be able to contact them. Peter reveals that he doesn't have his wallet, which contains a family photo and loads of cash, checks, and credit cards and remembers that Kevin was looking for batteries and has his wallet and travel bag.
A real version of the Talkboy, the tape recorder Kevin plays with in the movie, was created by Tiger Electronics shortly after the film's release, along with its pink-and-purple counterpart, the Talkgirl. At the time, Pesci said, "He's pampered a lot by a lot of people, but not me. And I think he likes that." The swimming pool scene was shot at the Four Seasons in Chicago, Illinois because of the fact that the Plaza Hotel doesn't have a swimming pool located on-site.

The scene where Marv is hit with the last three bricks is cut, showing only the scene where Marv is hit with the first brick. In addition, the scene where Marv gets stapled, removes the staple from his nose, and the tool chest scene are also cut. The television version has about 20 minutes of the film cut out in small instances to run in the time slot of 2 hours plus commercials as the film is exactly 2 hours long. For the full version to be aired on TV, it would probably last 2 and a half hours. Harry tries getting into the home via the fire escape, but falls after leaping on a ladder made slippery with Monster Sap soap.
Later when Kevin uses the film to trick the hotel staff, by fast forwarding past Carlotta's lines, towards the end he replays the scene and wrongly leaves the tape running when Johnny tells Carlotta he believes her. Since Kevin ran out and left it playing at the wrong moment we should have heard Carlotta's sigh of relief after that line of Johnny's , but it strangely isn't heard. In the gangster film Angels with Even Filthier Souls which Kevin watches, when Johnny fires at Carlotta the first row of gunshots last much longer when he later plays it to trick the hotel staff. Instead, Kate should have to check all children in, with their passports, and then give everyone their boarding passes.
Culkin's return was confirmed in May, and the rest of the cast was finalized soon after. Principal photography took place between December 1991 and May 1992, and was done on location in Illinois and New York, including at the Rockefeller Center and the original World Trade Center. A very similar formula to the first but obviously set in NYC, so there was a lot of potential for different ideas which I felt they capitalized on. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern crack me up in their roles as the Wet/Sticky Bandits. One year after Kevin McCallister was left home alone and had to defeat a pair of bumbling burglars, he accidentally finds himself stranded in New York City - and the same criminals are not far behind.
The scene where the McCallisters are at Miami International Airport was actually shot at Los Angeles International Airport. Kate looks for Kevin in Times Square and informs two police officers that Kevin has been missing for two days. While speaking with them, she remembers Kevin's fondness for Christmas trees and requests a ride to Rockefeller Center. As Kevin wishes for his mother to return, Kate's intuition proves correct, as she then observes Kevin in front of the Rockefeller Center's Christmas tree. The two embrace and apologize to each other before heading back to the Plaza as Kate explains that, like Kevin, the family didn't like the palm trees in Florida either.
From 2015 to 2020, she landed on Schitt’s Creekand won an Emmy Award for her role as Moira Rose as an Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Show Series. Home Alone 2 opened with $31.1 million from 2,222 theaters, averaging $14,008 per site. It broke the short-lived record set one week earlier by Bram Stoker's Dracula for having the largest November opening weekend.
The Miami police states that Kevin can still be tracked down if he tried using one of the credit cards and Kate replies that she does not think Kevin knows how to use a credit card. One year after Kevin was mistakenly left at home during the McCallister family's Christmas vacation in Paris, the family gathers at Peter and Kate's home to prepare for their vacation this time to Miami, Florida. Kevin feels resentful of this trip, as Florida lacks Christmas trees and Kate suggests finding a nice fake silver tree or decorate a palm tree. After Peter unknowingly resets the alarm clock by removing the camcorder battery from its charger, he instructs Kevin to get ready for his school's Christmas concert. Kevin goes into the bathroom to get his tie as his Uncle Frank sings in the shower, but the latter catches him and angrily says to leave, threatening to "slap him silly." Compact Italian-American actor Joe Pesci had already reached fame and recognition when he took on the supporting role of burglar Harry in the Home Alone movies.
Meanwhile, at an ice skating rink, Marv and Harry discovers an ad on Duncan's Toy Chest and they plan to rob the store, deciding that nobody would expect it. Earlier, upon landing in Miami, the McCallister family discover that Kevin is missing and file a police report. After the police trace Peter's credit card, the family flies immediately to New York. Meanwhile, Kevin goes to his uncle's townhouse, only to find it vacant and undergoing renovations. In Central Park, Kevin encounters and eventually befriends the pigeon lady, who takes him to Carnegie Hall.
The film went on to hold this record until 1994 when it was taken by Interview with the Vampire. Additionally, it achieved the highest opening weekend for a Chris Columbus film and would hold that record until it was surpassed by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in 2001. It started off better than Home Alone, grossing $100 million in 24 days compared to 33 days for the original.
