+He was forced to start his attempt over from scratch. However, he found his original list before the season 5 finale, allowing him to combine it with his new one, which was then at 200 films. This brought him to a total of 327 movies.[(cite:s05e10>[[s05e10]])]
-Due to an unforeseeable setback on the 500th night, Turkington was unable to view the 500th film that day. The project was revamped into **#501MoviesIn501Days**, setting an even more impressive record on day 501.
+Gregg completed the attempt between seasons 5 and 6, and went a step further, officially ending the campaign as **501 Movies in 501 Days**.[(cite:s06e01>[[s06e01]])] Although he stated he expected to hear from the Guinness World Records staff, his record does not appear to have been officially recognized.
