The original Pitch Perfect grossed a modest $65 million at the domestic box office, which was just enough to justify a sequel.

For the people who just couldn't deal with the first entry, this one promises all kinds of new nightmares and/or migraines.

Aca-heck yes! Universal confirms they're planning a 'Pitch Perfect 2,' and that news is so great that we don't even care that we can't see it for another couple years or so.
'Pitch Perfect' hit theaters earlier this fall, and managed to make over $60 Million at the box office. As the film cost $17 Million and was warmly received, it's no surprise that Universal is talking about making a sequel, and they've already started talking to cast members.
