Anyone think this movie would have had a sequel?

If John hadn't passed, I think there would have been a sequel, for sure. And if not, there should have been. It could have taken place just a month later during Christmas time, where Neal has to travel again, due to the job, and agrees to have Del along. It could even have had a happier ending, with Del meeting someone special.

Another road trip wouldn't have worked out too well as the previous commenter said. Maybe a sequel with a different name, whatever that may be. Instead of them on the road, it would be with Neal and his family adjusting to Del being around the house.

Home Alone and Vacation got quality sequels, and they were meant to be stand alone films.
In the sequel, Neal and Del could have gotten stranded in the southwest or pacific northwest. They could have met another stranger who is not who they appear to be. Hijinks ensue! -

I don't think so
From the time of its release to Candy's death almost a 7 year gap and nobody involved ever talked about a possible sequel. Hughes never seemed to be a big fan of sequels.I don't count because he had very little to do with vacation or Home Alone series. -

It should take place the day of Thanksgiving, where Del spends the night. The first 30 minutes could just be how annoying Del gets during the occasion, and then the mood changes once Neal gets curious and looks inside the trunk and finds Del's wife. Then the rest of film turns into a thriller as Neal tries to get his family to safety while Del stalks them and eventually tries to explain it was just a misunderstanding and he can't afford to bury her. Neal forgives him, but Del hacks him to pieces anyway.

They could and should make a sequel now with Neal Page character only, Neal could meet some other annoying character, similar to Del. Neal trying to get home after his last day in work or trying to get home for Thanksgiving day or Christmas after a business trip in europe.
Of course this couldn't be as good as the original but it could be an ok movie, I would watch it

What they could do is have modern-day Neal bookending the movie, or also popping in here and there, telling the story of his adventure with Del to his kids or someone else, and use cut scenes from the original as a bulk of the filmkind of like what they did with The Lion King 1 1/2.
