Pitch Perfect 2 is a 2015 American comedy film directed and co-produced by Elizabeth Banks and written by Kay Cannon. It is a sequel to the 2012 film Pitch Perfect. The film centers on the fictional Barden University and The Bellas, an all-female a cappella singing group. The film features an ensemble cast, including Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, Alexis Knapp, Hana Mae Lee, Ester Dean, Chrissie Fit, Kelley Jakle and Shelley Regner as The Bellas. It was released on May 15, 2015 by Universal Pictures.

The film grossed over $287 million and surpassed the total gross of the original film ($115.4 million) in five days, and also became the highest-grossing music comedy film of all-time, overtaking School of Rock ($131.3 million).[4] A sequel, Pitch Perfect 3, is set to be released on December 22, 2017.[5][6]

Plot

Three years after the events of the previous film, the Barden Bellas are now led by Beca Mitchell (Anna Kendrick) and three-time super senior Chloe Beale (Brittany Snow). The Bellas have become ICCA champions each of these three years. However, the group becomes involved in a national scandal called Muffgate when a wardrobe malfunction causes Fat Amy's (Rebel Wilson) pants to rip while performing at President Barack Obama's birthday gala. This leads to the Bellas' suspension from the ICCAs, meaning they are banned from holding auditions, and damages the group's reputation significantly. Beca makes a deal to allow the Bellas to be reinstated should they win the World Championship of a cappella. A cappella commentators John Smith (John Michael Higgins) and Gail Abernathy-McKadden-Feinberger (Elizabeth Banks) doubt the group's chances, as no American team has ever won the world title.

Freshman Emily Junk (Hailee Steinfeld) starts her college career, hoping to follow in her mother Katherine's (Katey Sagal) footsteps by being a Bella. At orientation, she watches an a cappella performance by the Treblemakers, now led by Beca's boyfriend Jesse Swanson (Skylar Astin). Emily meets him and tells him her dream of joining the Bellas. Benji Applebaum (Ben Platt), Jesse's best friend, overhears this and develops an awkward crush on her.

The Bellas learn that German a cappella group Das Sound Machine (who are also the current World Champions) have replaced the Bellas on their victory tour. Additionally, Beca has started an internship at recording studio Residual Heat, something only Jesse knows about so that the Bellas won't question her commitment. On her first day she watches her egocentric boss (Keegan-Michael Key) degrade his assistant, causing her to realize the negative points of a career in producing music.

Emily goes to the Bellas' sorority house to audition for them because of their absence from the auditions. She is initially rejected by Fat Amy, but in a desperate attempt, she announces her Legacy Bella relation to her mother, who is very well known in the a cappella community. When she sings her unfinished song "Flashlight," she succeeds in joining because of the rules of suspension stating that the Bellas can't hold any auditions, but Emily technically came to them. At the initiation party, Benji nervously tries to ask Emily out, but she kindly rejects him with the reason being that it's her first day of college. Bumper Allen (Adam Devine) returns, from being backup to John Mayer, as Barden security and starts hooking up with Amy.

At a car show where the ICCA winners are due to perform, the Bellas scout their replacements, German powerhouse "Das Sound Machine" (DSM) - led by intimidating duo Pieter Krämer (Flula Borg) and Kommissar (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen), who take delight in mocking the all-girl group. To her own surprise, Beca is too dazzled by Kommissar's striking appearance to win any verbal spars she engages her in. Determined to beat DSM at Worlds, the Bellas rehearse a new set that is similar to DSM's style. After one rehearsal, Beca shows off her mashup skills to her boss by helping produce Snoop Dogg's Christmas album. In turn, her boss offers her a chance to become a producer by listening to her demos. Later, the Bellas are invited to an exclusive riff-off, but end up losing to DSM in the final round when a nervous Emily flubs an attempt to sing "Flashlight," an original song she also performed for her Bellas audition. Not only was the song not from the right category ("90's Hip-Hop Jamz"), but original songs are frowned upon by the a cappella groups in attendance.

Having gone through Beca's demo samples, her boss expresses disappointment that all of her songs are mashups. He gives her another chance to add to her covering experience with the Bellas and come forth with original content. Because of this with the current events, Beca is becoming stressed out with both careers. Fat Amy reassures her confidence after revealing her knowledge of her internship. The next night, Bumper makes a romantic attempt to get serious with Amy, but she rejects him as she claims to be "A free range pony, that cannot be tamed." The next day at the warmups, the Bellas' chance of winning end in disaster when the performance makes John and Gail question the Bellas' identity and sets Cynthia-Rose's (Ester Dean) hair on fire by pyrotechnics. In order to regain harmony and sync, Chloe takes them to a retreat led by former leader Aubrey Posen (Anna Camp). Before going, Emily goes to Katherine for help. She worries about the Bellas' relationships and her possibility of soloing at the ICCAs. Katherine then reassures her that going to the Worlds is bigger than the ICCAs and that the Bellas won't end now.

The boot camp gives the group physically challenging tasks in order to help with their harmony, but to no avail. Beca shows her frustration over the camp activities not helping the group and is pressured by Amy to reveal her internship. She starts a heated argument with Chloe over herself being the only one thinking about life beyond the Bellas and Chloe's obsession with winning Worlds. Beca storms off but is captured by a bear net. Chloe sees this as a win but becomes concerned for her safety when the net starts to rip and fall. Lily (Hana Mae Lee) manages to get her down, claiming that "[she] sleeps upside down like a bat".

The girls calm down and talk about their dreams and future. Beca reveals that her stress was caused by her independence in doing everything under extreme pressure and wishes that she can have Emily's confidence. Emily returns those feelings about her being intimidatingly good and reveals that just wants to be a Bella, not a Legacy. Beca then offers her to produce "Flashlight" at the studio. When the group realizes that they may not see each other after graduation, they regain harmony by singing "Cups (When I'm Gone)." Fat Amy realizes that she made a mistake with Bumper and goes to win him back, before getting trapped by a net.

She rows across the lake to him, singing "We Belong" to him, with the Trebles and Bellas watching from their houses. Bumper initially rejects her, but he ends up joining her in the song. At the studio, Emily and Beca present their song to Beca's boss, in which he envies their talent and looks forward to producing with them.

The senior Bellas graduate and they all head off to Copenhagen for the World Finals, with Jesse and Benji to cheer them on. Benji wishes Emily luck before the start of Worlds and she kisses him. The performance of DSM and the crowd's reaction discourage the Bellas, but Fat Amy gives them one of her pep talks and brings back the spirit to the group. Their performance starts with a handclap introduction and they rock the Worlds with their real sound. Suddenly, they perform a harmonized version of "Flashlight" with Aubrey, Katherine, and other past Bellas joining in. The Bellas win the championship and repair the damaged legacy. As the senior Bellas leave Barden, they give Emily a belated proper initiation with Fat Amy showing her how to do the last tradition: christening the house by sliding down the staircase.

In a mid-credits scene, Bumper performs on The Voice, receiving a reluctant attitude from Adam and choosing Christina as his coach. He then makes her uncomfortable when he lengthens his hug to her.

Sequel

On April 11, 2015, a month before the release of the film, it was announced that Rebel Wilson would return for a third film, although she stated that she did not know if Anna Kendrick or any of the other cast members would also be reprising their roles. She added that she would be "up for a Fat Amy spin-off," although nothing has been confirmed.[57]

Director, star, and producer Elizabeth Banks acknowledged the possibility of a third film, saying, "I will say, it would be disingenuous to say that no one's talking about a Pitch Perfect 3; the possibility of it. We are really focused on getting as many butts in seats for this one. If fans embrace it, we are going to seriously think about what the continuing journey would look like, but we don’t know what that is yet".[58]

On June 10, 2015, a third film was officially confirmed, with Kay Cannon returning to write the script.[59] Several days later it was announced both Kendrick and Wilson would reprise their roles, and later Brittany Snow was also confirmed to return. [5] Banks will also return to produce, but in June 2016 it was announced she would not be directing the film.[60]

The film was originally slated for a July 21, 2017 release, and was later pushed back to August 4, 2017 before moving back to the July 21 slot.[6] In May 2016 it was moved again, this time being pushed back to December 22, 2017.[61]

As of October 18, 2016, Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow, and Hailee Steinfeld have been confirmed to be reprising their roles.[62]
