It is always worth going to the cinema to see movies in better quality and not having to wait for them to arrive on streaming platforms or go on sale in other formats to see them. For some, the price of tickets can be an inconvenience, but someone who has no problem attending as many times as necessary is the American. Zach Swope.
This is attested to by the Guinness record it has achieved, since a total of 777 times to the cinema to watch movies between July 2022 and July 2023. An amazing figure that has far surpassed the previous mark that Frenchman Vincent Krohn had obtained in 2018 with a total of 715 views.
Zach himself has stated that he considers himself a great lover of movies and watching them in the cinema, which is why he usually watches an average of between 100 and 150 each year and generally they tend to be very varied. In fact, he started this record with some like The Minions: The Origin of Gru and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, although they are not the ones he has seen the most times.
Naturally, to reach that impressive figure he had to watch certain films more than once. For example, he went to the cinema a total of 33 times to see Thor: Love and Thunder and another 35 times to see Super Mario Bros., but the one he saw the most times was Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. with a total of 47 timeswhich is said soon.
For the record to be validated, it is not enough to enter the room and leave a few minutes later. It is necessary watch the movies in their entirety and without carrying out other activities in the meantime, so he was prohibited from taking a nap in the meantime and was also not allowed to keep an eye on his mobile phone. That is why the cinema employees controlled everything he did every time he went to the theater to make sure that he did not break these rules.
In order not to miss out, he visited a cinema where he paid a subscription that allowed him to go as many times as he wanted for a month. Furthermore, he usually watched about three movies a day and an average of about 16-17 almost every weeksince his original goal was to reach 800, although there were also days when he had no choice but to take a break to regain strength.
As he did not see himself capable of achieving the goal he had set, he decided to leave it 777 times in order to end up with what he defined as the lucky number. On the other hand, the feature film with which he surpassed the previous record was Spider-Man: Crossing the Multiverse because it was the one he most wanted to see, while the one he liked the least was The Devil Conspiracysince he only saw it once and it was a movie he would have liked to forget.
