What Killed Home Alone?

Описание: Home Alone is often remembered as a timeless Christmas classic, a movie that feels warm, simple, and almost untouchable.
But behind that cozy reputation hides one of the strangest franchise journeys in Hollywood history.

This video tells the full story of Home Alone, from its unlikely rise in the late eighties to its record breaking box office success, and then to its slow and painful decline.
From creative risks that somehow worked, to sequels that struggled to justify their own existence, and finally to modern streaming era revivals that few people asked for.

We break down how the first film was made, why it became such a massive phenomenon, how studio decisions changed the direction of the franchise, and why Home Alone eventually turned from a cultural event into endlessly recycled content.

This is not nostalgia bait.
This is a complete history of how a perfect success story slowly fell apart.
