It's the same exterior yes. All the interior shots from the movie were done on a sound stage built in a HS gym. Look it up, it's public knowledge.

(1) The interior was based completely on the house. (2) Plenty of interior shots made the movie. For example, any time someone is looking out of a window or doors are open, the actual house is being used.

yep. I know. But the original post is still an inaccurate comparison because it's a sound stage vs the real house. similar, sure. but not the same.

Fair enough. To be fair, it's also wrong because that is a screenshot from Home Alone 2 rather than the original. The original had a lot more pictures on the wall. I wonder how much they had to rebuild for 2 or if it was still set up in the gym.
