Once slated to stage their reunion in the thick of the summer (July 21, 2017, to be exact), Universal has postponed the return of The Barden Bellas by close to six months, withPitch Perfect 3 now set to open on December 22, 2017. With such serious movies on tap, Pitch Perfect 3 will be trying to tap into moviegoers who are looking for a comedy during the holiday season. You’re going to have to wait a bit longer than expected to see the third movie’s release.
First released in 2012, the original acapella musical film exceeded expectations and became a sleeper hit. Pitch Perfect 2 more than doubled that number pulling in more than $288 million worldwide. While their biggest competition is the all-male group the Treblemakers, the ladies often face battles within their own ranks on their way to championship glory.
The film was scheduled to open on July 21, 2017, but will now debut on December 22 of the same year, reported Ace Showbiz.
The Bellas are moving from summertime to #Pitchmas.
Pitch Perfect 3 will be produced by series fixtures Paul Brooks of Gold Circle Entertainment and Max Handelman & Elizabeth Banks of Brownstone Productions.
