Sunday Final Nationals: Decent Ratings for ‘Sharknado 5: Global Swarming’ on Syfy Despite Downward Trend for Franchise

ABC ended CBS’ two-week winning streak as Sunday’s most-watched network with an average of 4.79 million viewers on this night.

“Game of Thrones” reached another series-high in live plus same day viewership as HBO continues its leadership among all key demos from 7-11 p.m. for the fourth straight Sunday — adults 18-49 (approx. 1.5 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 1.2 rating) and adults 25-54 (approx. 1.7 rating).

HBO was also cable’s most-watched network in prime time (3.37 million viewers), including besting NBC and Fox in average audience for the night.

With 1.88 million viewers, the Syfy original movie “Sharknado 5: Global Swarming” earned the popular schlock movie franchise its least-watched original telecast since the original “Sharknado” movie in 2013. “Sharknado 5: Global Swarming” was 32 percent below last year’s “Sharknado: The 4th Awakens” (2.768 million viewers on July 31, 2016); down nearly 31 percent in adults 18-49 (0.57 rating vs. 0.82 rating).
