‘Sharkalanche!’ The Best Entries in Syfy’s Twitter Contest to Name ‘Sharknado 2’
Posted in: UncategorizedFollowing the social media success of its original movie “Sharknado,” Syfy is taking to Twitter to ask fans to name the sequel.
Syfy green lit “Sharknado 2” on Wednesday, less than a week after the first movie garnered as much as 5,000 Tweets per minute during its two-hour airing last Thursday. In total, “Sharknado” resulted in 387,000 online comments, according to Syfy.
Despite the social-media chatter, however, the movie only pulled in 1.4 million viewers. Earlier this year its “Chupacabra vs. the Alamo” attracted 1.5 million viewers. And the series premiere of “Defiance,” which in fairness was heavily marketed, drew 2.7 million.
