Regal employees monitored Swope during his screenings to make sure he was following the rules set forward by Guinness World Records.
An American man has set a world record by attending 777 movie screenings within the span of a single year. According to Guinness World Records, film buff Zach Swope (USA) has broken the record for the most films seen in a cinema in one year after attending a total of 777 screenings between July 2022 and July 2023. The previous record of 715 was set by Vincent Krohn (France) in 2018. Zach, 32, says he is a "huge lover of film" and watches an average of 100-150 films at the cinema each year.
For his record-breaking attempt, he viewed a diverse selection of films, commencing with "Minions: Rise of Gru" and concluding with "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."
The British reference book said that in order to achieve this record, all films must be watched in their entirety, and each one must be watched independently of any other activity, meaning that Zach could not take naps or look at his phone while in the cinema.
