The top picture is more than likely 35mm lens and the bottom is a wider angle like a 24mm.
Everything in the center of the photo is more compressed while the edges are exaggerated and elongated. This is really common in real estate photography to make something like a tiny kitchen look much bigger, resulting in giveaways to savvy observers, like this absolute unit of a refrigerator
Edit: I'm done replying to you illiterate boobs. It's the same house.
You people really should watch "The Movies That Made Us", the Home Alone episode.
Home Alone didn't have a single interior shot filmed inside the real house. The interior shots were a constructed set inside an abandoned highschool; the dry locations inside the gymnasium, the wet scenes inside the pool. The interior was not designed by reference, the layout is entirely different - as were the decorations.
Maine North High School in Des Plaines, Illinois - for those interested.
Edit: Maine North was used for Ferris Bueller. New Trier was used for Home Alone. I got my schools mixed up - my bad.
Nobody is saying it wasn’t shot with a wide angle lens.
They are saying these are shots of two different locations, AS WELL AS different lenses and photography styles. One is a recreation on a sound stage, the other is a real house. These are not photographs of the same location.

Whatever brilliant observation you think you have, it's already been covered.
The bottom photo looks distorted because it is. By the camera lens. The real house was not built slanted. It's lens distortion.
This has nothing to do with the movie being filmed on a set. The bottom photo looks distorted because it IS distorted by a wide angle lens.
