Home Alone

Home Alone is coming to the Rangos Giant Cinema on Friday, December 4, at 7 PM. It's a special screening of the classic comedy, so if you've seen it a dozen times on TV, this is a chance to catch it on a big screen instead. The movie is built around the ingenious traps Kevin sets up to defend his house, and it's one of those few Christmas films that works as a standalone comedy even when the holiday season isn't the main point.

The screening is at the Rangos Giant Cinema inside the Kamin Science Center, located at 1 Allegheny Ave. in Pittsburgh. The cinema calls itself the 'Mother of All Theaters' and bills itself as the most technologically advanced movie experience in the city. It runs everything from Hollywood features and classics to educational and 3D experiences on a 71-by-39-foot Certified Giant Screen, powered by two Christie laser-illuminated 4K projectors and a Dolby Atmos system with 49 speakers. It's a massive setup for a movie that's usually watched on a living room TV.

Beyond the big screen, the cinema also hosts special screenings of classic films paired with a pre-show book swap and a post-show discussion, and it programs '21+ Night: Science After Dark,' an adults-only evening, alongside 'SkyWatch' astronomy events. Concessions are priced to be among the best in the area, so you can grab some snacks without spending a fortune. Just a heads-up: they enforce a strict no-late-entry policy, so you'll want to be in your seat before the lights go down.

Home Alone plays Friday, December 4, at 7 PM at the Rangos Giant Cinema, 1 Allegheny Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15212.
