Sharknado 2 Reels in 39 Million Viewers
Syfy's Shaknado 2 The Second One drew 3.9 million viewers Wednesday night, 183 more than the 1.4 million people who tuned into the original in July 2013, according to Nielsen ratings. The campy action/comedy scored a 1.3 rating among viewers under 50, tripling its 0.4 rating from last year. It also took a bite out of its competition, CBS' Halle Berry drama Extant and Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, which both scored lower ratings. Nielsen also found that Sharknado 2 topped Nielsen's Twitter TV ratings Daily Top Five list with 581,000 tweets. A third Sharknado movie is already in the works for summer 2015.
