Check out Fathom’s website for the full list of theaters and to buy your tickets.
Here’s some more info on the Sharknado 2 screening, courtesy of RiffTrax:
The first RiffTrax Sharknado: Live event was a smash-success garnering rave reviews. Don’t miss your chance to see Mike, Kevin and Bill in theaters nationwide as they button up their raincoats and go headlong into Sharknado 2: The Second One. This time the titular weather event hits the city of New York, right as all the gruff and busy inhabitants are trying to walk, over here! Internal shark chain-sawer Ian Ziering is back, along with Tara Reid as his ex-wife who kind of likes him now, ever since her douche-y boyfriend got eaten by a shark in their living room. And no famous landmark is safe from the shark’s wrath, including perennially grumpy New Yorker Judd Hirsch.
Get tickets over at Fathom's website for the following dates/times: Thursday, July 9, at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 7:00 p.m. CT, and tape-delayed to 7:00 p.m. MT/ 8:00 p.m. PT, with a repeat showing on Thursday, July 16, at 7:30 p.m. (local time).
