Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Donald Trump, who owned the Plaza Hotel at the time, allowed the crew to film in its lobby and a suite in exchange for a cameo appearance in the movie in addition to the studio's standard location fee.
- Macaulay Culkin was paid $4.5 million plus 5 percent of the film's gross to return for the sequel, a huge jump from the $110,000 he was paid for the original Home Alone.
- Joe Pesci suffered burns to his head while filming the scene in which his character Harry has his hat set on fire.
- The film's November 1992 opening broke a record for the biggest November opening weekend that Bram Stoker's Dracula had set just one week earlier, before Interview with the Vampire took the record in 1994.
- Culkin later said he preferred making the sequel because of the money, joking, "I got paid more. I think I own five percent of the net. And also 15 percent of the merchandising. So, if you buy a Talkboy I'm like yeah, I'll take 15 percent of that. Thank you very much."
