Home Alone Director Reveals How the McCallister’s Could Afford That House (And Debunks Controversial Fan Theory)
In movies, there are many iconic homes, but during the holidays, none is more famous than the luxurious Chicago house where Kevin McCallister and his family lived in “Home Alone”. This is the same house where Kevin defended against burglars Harry and Marv. The house is large and pricey; it was recently sold for approximately $5 million, having been purchased for $1.5 million back in 2012. Even when “Home Alone” was released in 1990, the grand house wasn’t cheap. Over the years, fans have often wondered about the McCallisters’ source of wealth to afford such a lavish residence and expensive vacations, including their trip to Paris. Now, the film’s director Chris Columbus has shared some insights, revealing that the McCallisters earned their living through hard work, although not in as dramatic a fashion as one might imagine, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
