Fun facts

In December 1989, it was reported that producer Joel Silver had acquired the rights to Richie Rich with Fred Savage attached to play the titular role.
By December of that year, it was reported that Macaulay Culkin was reattached to Richie Rich with a guaranteed $8 million and $10 million option if a sequel were made on the condition that Kit Culkin relinquish his director-approval privilege.
The film grossed $38 million at the box office in the United States and Canada and the same internationally for a worldwide total of $76 million on a $40 million budget.
A week later, it was reported that attempts were being made to repair the rift between Culkin and Warner Bros. The draft when Avildsen was attached would've taken inspiration from The Prince and the Pauper and featured Culkin in a dual role.
Some scenes, however, are filmed in Chicago, including a fencing scene filmed at DePaul University's Cortelyou Commons & the Ravenswood Manor neighborhood including the Francisco stop on the CTA Brown line.
