Man Watches ‘Spider-Man’ 292 Times, Sets New World Record

A Florida man has regained a world record after watching “Spider-Man: No Homecoming” 292 times.

Ramiro Alanis previously broke the record for “most watched cinematic productions of the same film” in 2019 after watching “Avengers: Endgame” 191 times. But in 2021, Arnaud Klein beat him by watching “Kaamelot: First installment” 204 ​​times, according to a press release from Guinness World Records.

To regain the title, Alanis spent a total of 720 hours, or 30 days, watching the latest installment of the “Spider-Man” saga between December 16, 2021 and March 15, 2022. In the first few weeks of his record attempt, he watched five consecutive screenings a day.

Alanis estimates he spent about $3,400 on movie tickets in total during the three months it took to set the record.

Alanis chased the record in honor of her late grandmother, Juany, according to Guinness. “She was my number 1 supporter and I want to continue to be the record holder,” he said in the press release.

The terms of the record dictate that the “film must be watched independently of any other activity” — so Alanis couldn’t take a nap, use her phone, or even go to the bathroom while watching the film. In addition, Alanis reconciled film screenings with family and work obligations.

Hundreds of views have made Alanis an expert on the film’s script, telling Guinness that he can “practically recite the dialogue along with the film.”

The film presents Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Zendaya as MJ; the two face off against Marvel villains. The box office success also brought back Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguirewho previously played Spider-Man.

Thanks to Alanis and other viewers, “Spider-Man: No Homecoming” has earned over $1 billion in global sales.
