I have a feeling this will be one of those sequels that makes *considerably* more than its predecessor. I wouldn't be surprised if its opening weekend number wasn't too far off the total domestic take of the first one. The first one picked up a huge cult following on video.

Trailer was kind of blah for me. The first one seemed overpraised but was a decently fun; iffy on this, but I think my fiancee is going to want to go.

It'd be even more "perfect" if Anna Kendrick was naked in this.

No question. I know a ton of huge fans, but I believe I'm the only one who actually saw it in theaters.

Missed the first one in theaters but caught it on HBO and thoroughly loved it. Now part of my travel movie rotation along with Zodiac and The Avengers.

I thought the trailer did what it should do: show us a little of the spirit of the first movie and how they’re expanding that theme.

Sold and definitely catching this one in the cineplex.

Yep. First one was a lot more fun than it should have been.

And I liked the original enough -- and I *LOVE* Kendrick -- but I don't get the lavish fan worship.

Loved the original - it helps that I sang in groups like that in high school and college. And it's in the same vein as Bring It On, which is another one of my favorites. A movie that's better than the subject matter would seem to indicate. Mostly because the creators have a handle on the fact that yes, it can look lame to outsiders but it's a fun activity that people do take seriously.

New one looks great - can't wait!

I kinda wish they didn't show plot details in this trailer. Make it kind of vague like the teaser.

But yeah, still in for this.

Re: Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) -- S: Kendrick, Wilson, Banks Dir: Elizabeth Banks

I got an email from Amazon advertising a Pitch Perfect 2 Premiere Pack -

Pitch Perfect 2 Premiere Pack: Pitch Perfect Digital HD (2012) + $15 Fandango Movie Ticket for Pitch Perfect 2 in Theaters + Pre-order of Pitch Perfect 2

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/r...SIN=B00WMYYRJM

It's not an amazing deal or anything, but it's not bad either. Kind of neat, they should do this for more new releases.

I love me some Anna Camp, and even though I know she's in the movie, she seems to be missing from most of the group shots. Hopefully she's still a major part of the movie.

I'm a fan too, but plotwise she and Brittany Snow shouldn't be performing with the group. I'm glad they're working her in somehow.

Yeah, I got the same mail, and $30 is not bad. I already have the original film on digital from the combo pack, but say I was going to pay $12 for the theatrical, then the combo for #2 is $18, which is a reasonable price for week of release.

Hmm, I guess the digital HD for the original would be on Amazon rather than Flixster, which has some value to me since I can get that on more devices. Maybe only a few bucks, but every bit helps.

I went and saw it this afternoon with a couple of friends. It was an ok sequel. The musical parts were a little bit better in this one than in the first one.

Funny, entertaining but not as surprising as the first (a common sequel problem). Not going to ask more from this one.

Just got back in from catching this one with the wife. It was alright, but it was really lacking the charm that the original had.
