A diehard Marvel Cinematic Universe fan just set a Guinness World Record for the second time.
According toGuinness World Records, Florida resident Ramiro Alanis broke the record for most cinema productions attended of the same film after watchingSpider-Man: No Way Homenearly 300 times.
Alanis watched the blockbuster 292 times in theaters from Dec. 16, 2021 to March 15, 2022.
“That’s a total runtime of 720 hours, or 30 days,” said GWR.
GWR reported that Alanis decided to reclaim the title in honor of his late grandmother Juany, who died before watching him first make history in 2019.
“She was my #1 supporter and I want to remain the record holder,” he said per GWR.

Earning a GWR twice was not an easy task and there are rules set in place that Alanis had to follow.
“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,” said GWR.
“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.”
Spider-Man: No Way Homeactually made history with its release in December of last year.
