Ramiro Alanis's 292 Spider-Man screenings: what the Guinness record counted

Guinness records Alanis attending Spider-Man: No Way Home 292 times in 2022. It was a cinema-attendance achievement, rather than a film's box-office or streaming record.

The achievement behind the number

Guinness World Records' Florida record summary identifies Ramiro Alanis as the fan who attended Spider-Man: No Way Home 292 times in 2022. It also recalls his earlier 191 screenings of Avengers: Endgame. The count concerns repeated cinema attendance by one person, not the number of different films viewed.

Why the record needs its definition

A record title defines an activity and its verification requirements. Watching at home, buying a ticket without attending and repeatedly attending screenings are not automatically equivalent. This brief does not invent rules that are absent from the linked summary, and it does not claim the 2022 figure remains the current record.

The film's cast crossover is explained separately, including its major spoiler. Box-office totals answer another question again: money earned from tickets across audiences, rather than one fan's number of visits. Keeping the categories apart makes an unusual personal achievement easier to understand without confusing it with a commercial film milestone.
