Only for things where its not their own intellectual property and has a clause where it will "revert back" if not used. E.g. I believe Sony only did the Andrew Garfield "Amazing Spider-man" movies or the licence would be returned to Marvel, and Fox made the new (awful) Fantastic Four for the same reason.

Home Alone was 20th Century Fox so is presumably now owned entirely by Disney. I can see them remaking a lot of Fox properties under the full Disney banner, sadly, as they will undoubtedly be inferior knock-offs.
