In 2021, Culkin endorsed a petition to edit out Trump's cameo, when he replied to a tweet asking to digitally replace Trump with an older rendition of Culkin. The 1992 comedy film follows Kevin as he’s once again separated from his family on Christmas vacation and ends up in New York City. In one scene, Kevin winds up at the Plaza Hotel, where he asks Trump — who owned the hotel at the time — for directions to the lobby. This scene was cut entirely when CBC aired the movie this holiday season. "As is often the case with feature films adapted for television, "Home Alone 2" was edited for time," CBC spokesperson Chuck Thompson said on Thursday in a statement. Duncan’s Toy Chest is not a real store, but it has a real-life inspiration.
Thus, “Home Alone 3” became a movie about an eight-year-old named Alex. Every kid in 1992 was enthused by the Talkboy when they see Kevin with it in the movie. Hughes had dreamed it up for the purposes of the movie and then Tiger Electronics made it for him.

Culkin's return was confirmed in May, and the rest of the cast was finalized soon after. Principal photography took place between December 1991 and May 1992, and was done on location in Illinois and New York, including at the Rockefeller Center and the original World Trade Center.

Home Alone director Chris Columbus has revealed that Donald Trump “bullied” his way into a cameo in the film’s sequel, Lost In New York. "So I said to my editor, 'Leave him in the movie. It's a moment for the audience,'" the director recalled. In November, the Home Alone 2 director Chris Columbus claimed Trump bullied "his way into the movie," because they were shooting on his hotel property. Another fan did an amateur job of editing out Trump in the scene with Culkin and shared it on Twitter. "due to popular request I have removed trump from home alone," the fan wrote alongside the video. Joe Pesci really got burned during one of the action scenes.
Culkin seems to approve of removing a contentious celebrity cameo from the movie.
The film went on to hold this record until 1994 when it was taken by Interview with the Vampire. Additionally, it achieved the highest opening weekend for a Chris Columbus film and would hold that record until it was surpassed by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in 2001. It started off better than Home Alone, grossing $100 million in 24 days compared to 33 days for the original.
The production staff created another fake old-timey movie for the sequel. Many of the hotel scenes were actually shot in the Plaza. Macaulay Culkin was paid $4.5 million to star in this movie, the biggest salary ever to an eleven-year-old child actor. The McCallisters are a large family, but they managed to get basically everybody back for the sequel. Of course, they had to make sure the likes of John Heard and Catherine O’Hara were back, but almost every child actor returned as well.

The New York business magnate has appeared in TV shows, movies, and even professional wrestling, writes Cinema Blend. Canny Trump, however, wanted more than a fee to use the hotel as a setting. Home Alone 2 came out in 1992 and made the Plaza even more famous thanks to the iconic scene where Kevin meets Trump in the lobby.
Viewers took to social media with mixed criticism days ahead of Christmas as they recognized the American president's noticeable absence from the 1992 film, Comicbook.com reported. Trump's scene was cut from Scent of a Woman, according to star Chris O'Donnell. Trump demands to be written into major productions as a special payment for when films or TV shows are shot on his properties. Home Alone director Chris Columbus says that Donald Trump “bullied” his way into his cameo role in the film’s 1992 sequel, reports Insider.
A sequel was not going to happen without Culkin returning as Kevin. “Home Alone” had made him a star, and a pay increase was in order. For the sequel, he got $4.5 million-plus five percent of the film’s gross. “Home Alone” was written by the legendary John Hughes, who then gave the project to Chris Columbus to direct as a favor after Columbus left “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” due to the presence of Chevy Chase. Since it was such a success, Hughes was back to write the sequel and Columbus returned as the director.
She explains how her life collapsed when her lover left her; Kevin encourages her to trust people again. After considering her advice that he perform a good deed to make up for his misdeeds, and recalling Mr. Duncan's intent to donate to the hospital, he decides to prevent Harry and Marv from robbing the store. One fan of the movie tweeted, "Petition to digitally replace trump in 'home alone 2' with 40-year-old macaulay culkin." A video-game adaptation of the sequel was also released in 1992. The exterior shots of the toy store were actually filmed in Chicago. Most of the hotel scenes throughout the movie were actually shot in the iconic building.
It’s based on the massive F.A.O. Schwarz toy store in Manhattan. You may know it as the toy store that Ton Hanks goes to in “Big.” While it wasn’t a real store, all of the kids in the toy store scene shot there were allowed to keep one toy as a memento. Columbus, having gotten his scenes shot, originally had hoped to cut Trump’s cameo from the movie.
While we’re sure that room service at the Plaza is pricey, it’s impressive how he got to $967 worth. Among the items listed are two chocolate cakes, six custard flans, 36 chocolate-covered strawberries, and an entire pastry cart. Despite the violence, women liked the film more than men did. In the beginning of the novelization, a prologue, which ends up being Marv's nightmare in prison, he and Harry sneak away from the cops and return to Kevin's house to seek revenge on Kevin. Kevin bolts into the garage with Marv and Harry in hot pursuit. Harry and Marv end up triggering extra traps that Kevin had set up in the garage.
The concierge at the Plaza confronts Kevin about his use of Peter's credit card, now reported as stolen; Kevin flees the hotel but is caught by the Wet Bandits. Marv mentions his and Harry's plan to rob the store before Kevin escapes in an encounter with a passerby. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Culkin and Trump had a brief interaction in the movie as they were in the New York Plaza Hotel, which The Apprentice star owned from 1988 to 1995.
They also released it as a tie-in to the movie, and many of those kids clamoring for a Talkboy were able to actually get it. In 2002, a “Deluxe Edition” of the soundtrack was released for the 10-year anniversary. The two-disc release features 100 minutes of Williams’ score and other music cues, including some that weren’t included in the actual movie. In order for the Sticky Bandits to be attacked by all those pigeons, Pesci and Stern had to put up with some unpleasantness. The actors were covered in birdseed and roughly 300 birds were let loose.
