Ramiro Alanis, from Florida, USA, has reclaimed his record for the most cinema productions attended of the same film, after watching Spider-Man: No Way Home 292 times between 16 December 2021 and 15 March 2022.
That’s a total runtime of 720 hours, or 30 days.(snip)
In order for each viewing to be successfully counted towards the record total, the movie must be watched independently of any other activity. That means Ramiro couldn’t look at his phone, take a nap, or even go to the bathroom whilst the movie was running.
This is something Ramiro learned the hard way when he first achieved the record, as 11 of his viewings were disqualified due to bathroom breaks being taken.
The film must be watched to completion each time, including all of the credits. Ramiro was already used to doing this though, as every Marvel fan knows not to leave before the post-credits scene.
In addition to every ticket stub being submitted as evidence, a statement was taken from a theatre attendant after each viewing to confirm that Ramiro was watching the film throughout.
Ramiro watched back-to-back screenings of Spider-Man: No Way Home for three months until movie theatres stopped showing it. For the first few weeks, he watched five screenings every day. That’s a total runtime of 12 hours 20 minutes!
Those late-night viewings were the hardest part of this record attempt for Ramiro, who said he experienced headaches after having already watched the movie four times during the day.
Additionally, juggling other priorities in life and “trying to stay put mentally with work, family and the attempt” was a big challenge he faced.

Whoa...he beat my record of watching the movie 48 Hrs. by ONE.
guess it had to happen sometime..
It was 1982, i was 15 working my first job out in a Showcase cinema parking lot during the dead of winter....
His parents must be so proud.
I’ve never seen a Disney Marvel movie and the trailers I’ve seen don’t interest me in the least.
Also never seen a Batman movie unless you include the 1966 one with Adam West. I was 10 years old, so cut me some slack on that one.
I genuinely pity this young man.
That’s a rather dubious honor.
Maybe he could use a new hobby.
All that watching and he didn’t win any cash, just a notification in the book of records. How often do those records come up in a conversation?
Someone needs to get a life.
Is that the one where Curly plumbs the electric system and someone flips a switch and the ligh bulb fills with water and explodes?

I remember that scene! But the Stooges did at least two features where they were plumbers. I’m not sure which one had the light bulb scene.
But here’s one thing I do remember. Back in the mid-1960s I met Moe Howard, and chatted with him a bit. Moe was a real gentleman. He didn’t try to slap me even once!
You met Moe? That is awesome!
My 12th grade math teacher Mr. Goldberg used to claim that he was friends with Moe..
