Sike, it is A24 I forgot. That is very good, if you want to see Farrell, Keoghan, Kidman all kill it.
Theory......
Is Home Alone a Christmas Movie?
Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie?
Because they're the same movie.
Thieves trying to steal from a homeowner in a big city on Christmas Eve. One lone individual defending their turf.
Thieves trying to steal from a business owner in a big city on Christmas Eve. One lone individual defending their turf.
In fact......
Home Alone a prequel to Die Hard? Little Kevin grew up, changed his name to John McClane to stay out of the public eye after the events at his house, became a cop, moved to New York....

The fact that Home Alone takes place in the 90s and the first Die Hard takes place in the 80s ruins this theory.
I did remember reading a while ago that The Terminator is supposed to be a precursor to the Matrix.

I see that for sure. Seems like each decade's top Christmas movie (or movies) seem different from the other decade's top ones to today.
Home Alone is almost a family movie more than a Christmas movie, but a Christmas movie because of this imo:
The Wet Bandits depended on stealing from the neighborhoods of families being gone for a Christmas week on vacation (scene is set):
Kevin turned on all the lights the first time they approached the house, and Pesci got mad, because when he had previously walked in as a fake cop the mom told him they were going to be gone in France the next morning. They s'posed to been gone that next night.
He said the whole block was the focus ONLY because what he saw was potential at the McAllisters, on 10x pizza night when he walked in.
Harry and Marv wouldn't have been there at Kevin's if not for it being Christmas week, where the neighborhood families are vacationing. Incidentally, Kevin was there. It's based on Christmas the week and holiday.
Just watched this today before C CP1708 's post ****in weird
So if Harry and Marv were depending on Christmas week did Hans Gruber need to steal during Christmas week in particular that I can't remember? I literally haven't seen it in 10 years just the sequels.Not sure it HAD to be Christmas week, but they timed it for during the party, needing the FBI present to cut the power for the 7th lock and it being Christmas Eve was brought up.
I think the party timing itself was the main reasoning.

Party time-burglaries or heists... a lot of midwest and assuming eastern coast go up north for 4th of July, So Harry and Marv could've struck then in the midwest, not just Christmas when midwest people go south or to the islands. But weather in Illinois where the McAllisters lived meant people wouldn't be outside while they do the bit.
It's part of the never-ending debate.

Home Alone is definitely a Christmas movie to me too, both of them.I see that for sure. Seems like each decade's top Christmas movie (or movies) seem different from the other decade's top ones to today.

Hey man, just stay away From Under the SKIN or TUSK.Yes, sir. Apparently I'm just plowing through A24.
I"m glad I saw them both but I was so happy when they ended.
Really uncomfortable viewings.
Do those last if you must.

Agree with the comments so far that the last half of the trailer turning into a romcom will probably drag down what could be a great concept.
