Get ready for a blast from the past, Bay Area movie fans! Macaulay Culkin, now 44 years old, is bringing his beloved childhood classic ‘Home Alone’ back to the big screen with a special anniversary tour that’s hitting San Jose and Oakland this November.

The former child star will be hosting screenings that promise more than just a trip down memory lane. Fans can expect an intimate look behind the scenes, with Culkin sharing personal stories and insights about the film that made him a household name. The tour invites audiences to “relive the iconic scenes and heartwarming moments” while getting an exclusive peek into the making of this holiday classic.

For local fans, the tour kicks off on Sunday, November 23, at the San Jose Civic, followed by a screening at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland on Monday, November 24 - conveniently timed right before Thanksgiving. This isn’t Culkin’s first rodeo with these anniversary screenings; he previously hosted similar events last year, including a particularly memorable screening near the film’s original shooting location in Winnetka, Illinois.

Directed by Chris Columbus, who’s also known for local favorite ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’, ‘Home Alone’ has experienced a surprising resurgence in recent years. The film has gained renewed popularity through unexpected channels, including a series of memorable Chase Bank holiday commercials that have kept the movie in the cultural zeitgeist.

For millennials and Gen Z who grew up watching Culkin’s mischievous Kevin McCallister outsmart burglars, this tour offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with a beloved piece of 90s pop culture. It’s a chance to see how a childhood classic has aged and hear directly from the star who brought the character to life.

Tickets are already generating buzz, so Bay Area film enthusiasts might want to move quickly to secure their spot at these special screenings. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for a nostalgic night out, Culkin’s ‘Home Alone’ anniversary tour promises to be an unforgettable experience.
