Diligently following the guidelines specified by Guinness World Records, Regal Cinemas staff observed Swope throughout his movie marathon, ensuring compliance with the rules. The guidelines included refraining from bathroom breaks, and avoiding snacks or beverages during the screenings.

Despite having a regular job, Swope dedicated his evenings to watching up to three movies on weekdays, and squeezed in even more screenings on weekends.

Among the countless movies he watched, his most frequently viewed film was Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which he saw an astonishing 47 times.

Reflecting on his incredible cinematic journey, Swope reveals that his favorite film of the year was Across the Spider-Verse, while his least favorite was The Devil Conspiracy.

Aside from the personal accomplishment, Swope aimed to bring attention to mental health issues. Recognizing his unparalleled achievement, Regal Cinemas made a generous donation of $7,777.77 to the American Federation for Suicide Prevention.
