Twitter Sensation "Sharknado" Coming To Movie Theaters For One Day Only

Syfy network’s social media sensation Sharknado, a ridiculous made-for-TV movie about a tornado of sharks that rains on Los Angeles, is making the leap from small screen to big.

Sharknado will be shown at select movie theaters on August 2 at 12:05 a.m. local time.

The made-for-TV film, which premiered on Syfy on July 11 with 318,232 tweets during the broadcast at a peak of 5,000 tweets per minute, is further capitalizing on its Twitterific success by creating a Sharknado sequel, set for a July 2014 release.
