America's favorite rug rat streaks to the top of the rental and sales charts, making Home Alone the first tape to debut at No. 1 on both lists since Pretty Woman last November. Look for Macaulay Culkin to dominate well into the holiday shopping season.A few other titles are showing a surprising lack of staying power. The inner-city drama New Jack City drops to No. 13 its third week out, and even Teenage Mutant fever is cooling off. TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze falls eight notches on the rental chart, to No. 15, and gets muscled out of the lead sales spot by the one-two punch of good Macaulay and bad Arnold.
