DETROIT — Macaulay Culkin will be on hand at the Masonic Temple in Detroit in December for a screening of his 1990 holiday classic, "Home Alone," venue officials announced Friday.

Tickets for the Dec. 8 event go on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 13 via axs.com. Presale tickets go on sale Wednesday.

Culkin will participate in a moderated interview and an audience Q&A following the screening.

A limited number of VIP tickets, which include a post-show photo opportunity with Culkin, will also be made available for purchase.

Culkin, 44, was 10 years old when he starred in the box-office smash, which became the year's highest grossing film and earned more than $285 million in North American ticket receipts. In today's dollars, that would equal around $619 million.

Culkin starred as Kevin McCallister, who was accidentally left at home, alone, by his family as they headed abroad on a trip to Paris for Christmas. It's all fun and games until Kevin has to thwart a pair of criminals, known as the Wet Bandits (played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), who attempt to break into his family's suburban Chicago home.

"Home Alone" — which was written by the late John Hughes, who grew up in Grosse Pointe — spawned a direct sequel, 1992's "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," as well as several spinoff films in which Culkin did not appear. The latest entry in the franchise, "Home Sweet Home Alone," was released in 2021.
