Acapella proves strong at the box office this weekend as the girls from Pitch Perfect 2 pull in over £70 million as the film makes it’s US debut, dethroning Avengers: Age of Ultron in the process.
The Barden Bellas proved to be too strong a competition for Mad Max: Fury Road which made $44.5 million this weekend, taking second place – the explosive new remake of the 1980’s classic starring Mel Gibson, has already listed in IMDb’s Top 50 films of all time list, yet that wasn’t enough to entice people away from the Barden Bellas.
Pitch Perfect 2, which sees Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Brittany Snow team up again on the world stage, also opened at No.1 around the world including the UK and Australia.
With a stellar cast including Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult, Mad Max: Fury Road could still claim a victory next weekend – especially with rave reviews flooding in.
