An insanely dedicated Marvel fan has set a new world record. Ramiro Alanis, a personal trainer living in Florida, watchedAvengers: Endgamein a theater an incredible 191 times. That was good enough to set an official record, according to Guinness World Records. He now holds the official record for most cinema productions attended of the same film.
The previous record-holder, aYouTuber named NemRaps, had set the record watchingInfinity War. So the two most recent records were set by watching two of the most important movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Ramiro Alanis, unquestionably, ended up putting in a lot more time to make it happen. This is becauseAvengers: Endgameclocks in at 181 minutes, or just over three hours. The record doesn’t account for the movie’s length. Alanis just happened to choose an exceptionally long movie.
Just to provide some context, watchingAvengers: Endgamethat many times would take just over 576 hours. Or 24 full days. That is nearly a full month of one’s life spent watching the same movie.That is dedication. And, as it turns out, Alanis sacrificed a great deal in setting the record. Specifically as it relates to his physical fitness. He had this to say about it.
“The most difficult part about this attempt was giving up my social life with my family, the gym (I lost 16 pounds of muscle) and managing my work hours and screening times at the theaters.”
But Ramiro Alanis, for his troubles, can say that he isofficially recognized by Guinness World Records. It also means he contributed a great deal toAvengers: Endgame’s record-breaking run at the box office. The MCU epic earned $2.8 billion during its run in 2019. That was good enough to make it the highest-grossing movie in history, at least for a time. James Cameron’sAvatar, which held the record for nearly a decade, recently took the top spot once again thanks to a successful re-release in China. Speaking further, Alanis had a bit of advice for anyone who has their sights set on a world record.
“Plan accordingly to yourrecord attemptand prepare yourself as much as you may, physically and mentally, all things are possible.”
Avengers: Endgamewas directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. The duo directed four movies in the MCU, includingCaptain America: The Winter Soldier,Captain America: Civil WarandInfinity War.
