Home Alone
For whatever reason,Home Alonedidn’t really resonate with the critics. Even today, the film only registers 66% on the Tomatometer, but those lukewarm reviews didn’t stop the fans from enjoying the holiday classic. As a result,Home Alonebecame a bona fide blockbuster and has made a total of $476.7 million from its theatrical releases worldwide (perBox Office Mojo).
Armed with a budget of only $18 million, the 1990 Christmas comedy made an astounding $289 million globally during its original release almost 35 years ago.
