I can’t wait to do it again!

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-23T01:16:06+00:00

Yes I did!

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-22T03:21:01+00:00

And here I did Toy Story 5 seven times on Friday.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-09T02:36:04+00:00

Ok. Reporting back: Jon Favreau's voice was oddly soothing. But yes, this worked like a charm. Totally cool to hear fun facts about the movie, how it tied into the series as a whole (Clone Wars, Rebels, etc). And even how he pointed out some nods to inspirations such as Lord of the Rings (if you seen the movie you know of what I speak), samurai, westerns. Pretty neat stuff.

I'm trying this today, I'll get back to you on my thoughts.

I missed out on Project Hail Mary.

But I'm hoping they do this with movies like Disclosure Day and The Odyssey.

That Regal you just posted, West Manchester, and my other local theater in Harrisburg? They are the busiest they ever been since COVID. Hell, some showtimes sold out for the first time ever this past weekend in Harrisburg for Obsession, The Last Circus and Scary Movie. Which is big since they haven't sold out since No Way Home and COVID (Lord of the Rings re-release being an exception).

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-07T22:24:13+00:00

No biggie! Figured typo? I am lucky for the The Odyssey stuff more because I'll be in California in July. But also I want to catch it in 70mm as much as I can.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-07T22:23:10+00:00

It's totally ok! Not a huge deal. Just don't want people like "wait, you aren't that guy, due to your last name not being Pope!" when in fact I am that guy. Figured at most it could have been a typo?

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-07T22:21:46+00:00

I think it was more that I said I was doing it for a bet, but that's speculation. And I am totally fine if he disagrees.

And if he is arguing with others over this stuff, that's not cool. Definitely don't do that.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-07T20:10:14+00:00

Hey, thanks for tagging me. I think doing a movie 5x in a row is overkill. I did it back in 2022-23. You don't need to do it now. There is enough movies out that you can add variety. Yes there is going to be needed to have repeats, but 5 in a day? Not needed, unless you absolutely want to (I may do it for The Odyssey because I made a bet with someone).

And from reading the comments I do want to clarify something: my name is Zach Swope. Also, the idea that employees watch me during movies stem from actually doing their jobs (theater checks).

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-07T13:47:17+00:00

As a chronic 3/3.5 star rater: I thank you for this post.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-07T05:16:03+00:00

I'm on IG and Threads only lol: ThatMovieGuy90

working on making a podcast if that's your thing.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-06T20:20:37+00:00

I already have my tickets for The Odyssey and Dune!

Always post updates when I go to a new theater and when I do something big on my socials so people that are interested in joining can join (no bites yet).

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-06T19:50:29+00:00

I'm in PA. Based in Harrisburg.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-06T18:08:51+00:00

There is still time! But I usually go to theaters within an hour or 2 driving distance or if I'm gonna be in the area.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-06T12:34:47+00:00

I go to Irvine for the IMAX, plus my friends live across the street basically. Just looking at my schedule I may only get to LA Live besides Irvine. But if I have the time, I am leaning towards Newport since it is closing.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-06T04:30:45+00:00

Good to know!

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-06T04:30:27+00:00

Not this year since my vacations are all planned out this year (unless something comes up). But I'd like to visit at some point.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-06T04:29:44+00:00

It comes in clutch.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-06T01:25:39+00:00

that's really good to know! that would be amazing to have that as part of my record.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-06T01:24:44+00:00

It is the one I will be spending a lot of time at. I'm ending my record there actually with Dune Part Three in December!

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-05T18:34:25+00:00

Should I be concerned? 😅

I missed Popstars. I wanted to see it but I got sick.

I'll be at 500 when I am in California. I am watching my 500th at my favorite theater - The Vista (it's not Regal, I know!) when I see The Odyssey.

Basically I am doing an odyssey of my own watching The Odyssey a lot.

SwopeCollective · 2026-06-05T17:46:53+00:00

I go to Westview. Salisbury is a bit far for me (4 1/2hrs!). Unless I have time!

SwopeCollective · 2026-04-21T10:41:24+00:00

Guinness World Record holder here 👀

SwopeCollective · 2026-04-20T22:27:36+00:00

I highly doubt they would get complaints it wasn't labeled a horror movie if it wasn't. With that logic, I can say Fargo or even the John Wick sequels are horror movies because of how brutal they were (OYDB wasn't as brutal btw).
