Florida Man Creates Guinness World Record Watches ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ 292 Times.

There us binge watching and then there is marathon watch and then comes a Guinness World record for “most cinema productions attended of the same film”, stunningly achieved by Ramiro Alanis, from Florida, US, who watched Spider-Man: No Way Home 292 times between December 16, last year, to March 15, this year.

He spent 720 hours, or 30 days, watching the superhero movie based on the popular Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. An estimated $3,400 ( approx ₹ 2.59 lakh) was spent on the tickets.

Spider-Man: No Way Home  was not Ramiro’s first time achieving this big feat. He had previously set the record in 2019 with 191 viewings of Avengers: Endgame. However, that record was broken in 2021 by Arnaud Klein, who watched Kaamelott: First Instalment 204 times.

Mr Alanis knew about Mr Klein’s attempt but was “a little bit disappointed” when he found out that his record had been broken, according to the record keeper. He then decided to reclaim the title in honour of his grandmother Juany, who died in 2019 before Mr Alanis earned the Guinness World Record title.

“She was my first supporter and I want to remain the record holder,” he told the records keeper. “If anyone tries to break my record again, I want them to think twice before attempting it,” he added.

For the first few weeks, Mr Alanis watched five screenings every day – a total runtime of 12 hours and 20 minutes. 

Watching a movie so many times and ensuring that those viewings are counted for the record total is a tough job. There are certain conditions that need to be fulfilled: the person attempting the record has to view the movie independently of any other activity. Now, this means, the person can’t look at his/her phone, take bathroom breaks or take a quick nap. It doesn’t end here. He/she is required to watch the movie to completion each time, including all of the credits.
