Amidst some of the toxicity expressed by fans to creators and casts for not aligning the film to their expectations, it’s good to know that some fans are able to channel their passion for franchises in a positive form, granted a little over-the-top. This comes in the form of Marvel super-fan Kieran Harvey who has seen Avengers: Infinity War in theaters 100 times since its release.
Infinity War was a major blockbuster hit and is now the fourth highest grossing film of all time, becoming the fourth film to gross over $2 billion at the box-office along with being a memorable chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Seventeen year old Harvey brings his love for the MCU to new heights watching the film on countless occasions, sometimes with family and friends, sometimes by himself.
Speaking to Unilad, he expressed much of his love for the film along with how big of a Marvel fan he is having seen Black Panther 30 times and Deadpool 2 20 times. It’s also a little strange how Harvey is able to afford this feat especially since he’s only seventeen years old. He said on the matter:
I do have a limitless card which is why I go to the cinema so much. I’ve only missed about three days this year so far where I haven’t been at the cinema. So that cost just under £200, which isn’t bad going for the amount I should be paying on Avengers alone!
Aside from the financial aspect of achieving this feat, how on earth did this kid manage to put forth the time, let alone find the time to watch these many screenings of the film. He explained:
“I’ve just been going daily, multiple times, and somehow ended up at 100 after only a month and a half of it being released.I’d look at cinema times in the morning and plan my day to see which screenings I could make it to and it seems to have escalated quite far. Because it’s such a huge film there were many screenings on, almost every screen was showing it so that helped me view it a lot each day….The most I’ve done in a day is four I believe, and I did four on opening day!”
Harvey definitely has passion and there should honestly be a record of most number of Infinity War screenings attended per person especially after Harvey beat Tommy “Nem” Mitchell’s score having watched the film 45 times as of last week (then again Mitchell paid for his tickets separately).

Honestly, if I had that limitless screening card, I would sure use that to its fullest advantage. Granted, some extra views of Infinity War is bound to happen but someone should probably tell Harvey that there are other films to watch. He’s still having fun and that’s all that really matters… but seriously, there are other films.
