Since taking the leap into directing in the mid-1990s, former film editor Raja Gosnell has earned himself a solid reputation behind the camera. As one of Hollywood's busiest film editors throughout the 1980s and '90s, Gosnell cut his teeth on such blockbusters as "Pretty Woman," "Good Morning, Vietnam" and "Mrs. Doubtfire" before making his directorial debut in 1997 with "Home Alone 3." Once a cash-cow franchise for 20th Century Fox, the highly popular "Home Alone" series started off promisingly in 1990, raking in a whopping $286 million in its initial release. The first sequel, "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" (1992), was also a hit, grossing over $175 million domestically, yet it still proved to be somewhat of a disappointment.
