That could be a great idea, however its taken too long to make that it may not be worth it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Alone_(franchise)
Home Alones 4 and 5 were released straight to TV and DVD, and Home Sweet Home Alone was released on Disney+.
Home Alone 3, 4, 5 and 6 felt like someone sticking their middle finger up at me.
Similarly, the 1st and 2nd were wonderful films, directed by Chris Columbus, written by the late John Hughes, an ensemble cast, and so forth. However, already by the 3rd film, which involved largely different people, it really begs you ask, 'Why would they make another?', and save for John Hughes writing, and Raja Gosnell directing, who had previously edited the other two films, it feels more like a standalone film, that merely had the Home Alone logo slapped onto it. John Hughes manages to make the film charming, while Raja Gosnell displays early signs of what would later become his streak of largely successful comedy films from '99 to '13, so although not as good, as the previous two, it's mostly passable.
Already, Home Alone 3 leaves enough of a mildly sour and bitter aftertaste to make any viewer question why they watched it in comparison to the first two, but of course, that isn't enough, as we make our way to the 4th and 5th entries, which save for the 4th being directed by the late Rod Daniel, behind Teen Wolf, K-9, and Beethoven's 2nd, and the 5th being directed by Peter Hewitt of Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, is effectively the weak link in the chain. Admittedly, I've never seen the duo, so perhaps I'm unjustifiably critical of the two, but then again, they're straight-to-dvd/made-for-tv films, so in all honesty they probably are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, viewing experiences that you're better off never even hearing about, let alone watch.
Last but not least, you make your way to the 6th Home Alone film, Home Sweet Home Alone, having been released onto Disney+, since Disney had bought Fox back in 2018 or whatever and gained the rights through that. Interestingly enough on a side note, these films that are being released onto streaming services as exclusives, whether it be Netflix films, or Disney+ films, or whatever, can be viewed as the modern equivalent of the aforementioned straight-to-dvd or made-for-tv films, but just at a higher budget and level of quality. However, just because they're at a grander level, doesn't mean they're any better, save for a few Netflix originals. This 6th entry proves to follow the current, as it is a steaming pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, inferior to the 3rd film, and better than the 4th and 5th films only because the 4th and 5th were just that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥.
My final professional review?
1 - Home Alone
2 - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
3 - Home Alone 3
4 - Home Sweet Home Alone
5 - Home Alone 4
6 - Home Alone: The Holiday Heist
Note that the 1st and 2nd films are more or less on par, and only differentiated by 1 & 2 merely for the sake of ranking them, and similarly, Home Alone 4 and Home Alone: The Holiday Heist are on par, deserving of a spot lower than 6. Once more, only by the sheer matter of ranking, do they achieve the respective rankings of 5 and 6.
