There’s A Third ‘Pitch Perfect’ On The Way
According to Rebel Wilson, fans of Pitch Perfect have something to celebrate about: A third film!
2012’s Pitch Perfect managed to score $113 million dollars on a modest budget of $17 million. More importantly, it inspired a fairly instantaneous cult following. It garnered strong reviews, but the buzz amongst fans was probably the big story. I never saw it, but I recall hearing about it nonstop in my circles (said the actor with a ton of musical theatre friends). So, naturally, a sequel was greenlit. Pitch Perfect 2 is set to come out next month on May 15.
But now there’s this tweet from Amy Kaufman of the LA Times:
News: Rebel Wilson just told me there will be a 3rd @PitchPerfect and she recently signed on to be in it! (She doesn't know abt Kendrick.)

If she is to be believed, and Wilson wasn’t just blowing smoke, this would mean that Universal is very confident about Pitch Perfect 2 and ready to proceed with a follow-up right away.
Pitch Perfect 2 finds Elizabeth Banks in the director’s chair, and will hopefully live up to fan expectations when it belts its way into theaters next month.
