'Sharknado' draws twice the Twitter action than 'Game of Thrones' Wedding


I am LOVING the whole Twitterverse getting in on the Sharknado fun.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

There were more than 604,000 tweets about the irresistibly Sharknado from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m ET on Thursday, according to social media analytics firm Fizziology. The Syfy film, which starred Tara Reid, Ian Ziering and Casie Scerbo, premiered at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Putting that figure in context, HBO's widely discussed Game of Thrones "Red Wedding" episode drew 241,000 tweets in response to the show, Fizziology said.

Twitter also contextualized the outsized response to the sharks-meet-tornados B-movie, produced by Asylum. The micro-blogging platform's official Data account posted a chart showing a peak of more than 5,000 tweets a minute were referencing Sharknado at 10:58 pm ET.
