Sharknado coming to theaters Aug. 2

Up in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s a…shark! A super-sized storm sucks sharks from the ocean and hurls them onto land in the Syfy cult classic "Sharknado," presented for one night in select movie theaters for a special Midnight showing by NCM Fathom Events and The Asylum on Friday, Aug. 2 (starting at 12:05 a.m. local time). ”Sharknado” premiered on Syfy on July 11, becoming an immediate worldwide sensation, generating nearly 5,000 tweets a minute. “Sharknado 2” will premiere on Syfy in July 2014.

 

Tickets for “Sharknado” are available at participating theater box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com. “Sharknado” appears on the big screen in more than 200 select movie theaters through NCM’s exclusive Digital Broadcast Network.

Produced by The Asylum, “Sharknado” is the story of beachside bar regulars including owner Fin (Ian Ziering, "Beverly Hills 90210"), bartender Nova (Casie Scerbo, "Make It Or Break It") and local drunk George (John Heard, "Home Alone") as they team up with Fin’s ex-wife April (Tara Reid, "Scrubs") to investigate the ecological nightmare that has sharks swimming through the streets of Los Angeles and falling from the skies.
