What happens

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is a 1992 American Christmas comedy film directed by Chris Columbus and written and produced by John Hughes. The sequel to Home Alone (1990) and the second installment in the Home Alone franchise, the film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, Tim Curry, Brenda Fricker and Catherine O'Hara. The story follows Kevin McCallister as he is separated from his family on their vacation to Miami, Florida and ends up in New York City. While initially enjoying his newfound experiences, Kevin soon encounters the Wet Bandits again after their escape from prison. Hughes finished writing the film by February 1991, after signing a six-picture deal with 20th Century Fox. Culkin's return was confirmed in May and the rest of the cast was finalized soon after. Principal photography took place between December 1991 and May 1992 on location in Illinois and New York, including at the Rockefeller Center and the original World Trade Center. Home Alone 2 was theatrically released in the United States by 20th Century Fox on November 20, 1992 to mixed reviews from critics. It grossed over $359 million worldwide, and became the third-highest-grossing film of 1992. Home Alone 2 is the only Home Alone sequel to feature the majority of the cast from the first film. Home Alone 3 (1997) featured a new cast and characters, and the television film Home Alone 4 (2002) recast returning characters from the first two films to new actors. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
